A 4-year-old Cambridge girl needed three stitches under her right eye after a classroom incident involving another student.
Tracy Joyce’s 4-year-old daughter needed three stitches under her right eye after a classroom incident involving another student.
Joyce said she got a call from St. Augustine Catholic School in Cambridge on Jan. 10.
“I was assuming they were going to tell me one of my kids had a runny nose or vomited and needed to be picked up, but they said: ‘One of your kids was involved in an incident. We’re pretty sure she needs medical attention. You need to come get her,’” Joyce recalled.
Her daughter said she was eating lunch in her junior kindergarten class, when another student threw a Lego piece at her face.
“Blood everywhere. She was really upset. I think it was traumatic for every kid in that room,” Joyce said.
The 4-year-old was taken to Cambridge Memorial Hospital where she got three stitches and a referral to follow-up with a plastic surgeon.
“It’s so visible. It’s such an in your face reminder of what happened,” Joyce explained.
