The tragic death of this, teenager with a heart condition, after P.E. class, and the P.E. instructor told, that he never forced the student to run, and now, the parents want someone to blame for their daughter’s, death, off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

A teenage girl, suspected of having heart conditions, last year in November, after her physical education class, she was found to have a lowered blood-oxygen content, she was sent to the hospitals and operated on twice, she’d died in March of this year, the parents posted on FB two days, claimed that their daughter was forced to exercise, “her instructor said she wouldn’t get a grade if she didn’t run!”, they’d suspected the instructor of negligence for their daughter’s, death.

The school told, that the P.E. teacher denied having made the teenage girl run, but because it was from last year, there’s no, surveillance footage on record, that they will continue investigating, and show concern and assist the parents continually.

The father of the female student pointed out, that on November 9th of last year, he received a call that his daughter had low oxygen in her blood, and was sent to the nurse’s office to rest, as he got to school, his daughter told her, that the “P.E. teacher told me that if I don’t run, I won’t receive a grade”, he’d rushed his daughter off to the hospital, and, didn’t inquire further on what happened.

The female student was sent to the hospital to repair her heart valves, as she was released from the hospital, she couldn’t go to school any more, couldn’t even walk steadily, felt dizzy, lethargy, low oxygen in her blood, he’d wanted to, drop her daughter out of school, but the school advised that she stay in school, studied from home, but his daughter continued to feel ill, on January 8th, she went in for her second surgery, stayed in the I.C.U. for a month, then, transferred to the normal wards, but on March 18th, the adolescent’s conditions took a turn for the worst, she was sent to the I.C.U. again, and died the following day.

The parents told, that from the day to their daughter’s death, the P.E. teacher never once explained what had happened during the class, that what’s told to them, was word-of-mouth by the homeroom instructor of their daughter’s class; as his daughter’s funeral was set up, he’d decided, to pursue, and that was when the school, and the P.E. instructor came forth, and told that there was no requests made of the adolescent to run, and, presented the family with a red envelope, “Are you trying to, insult us?”

The school told, that the student was the first-year middle school student, she’d filled up a health form at registration, that the P.E. instructor knew of her conditions, and never made the demands on her.  The P.E. teacher told, that he’d told the class, “run one lap around the field” to the whole class, as the classmates wen off running, the female student asked the instructor, “How about me?”, to which the instructor told her, “Just rest by the side like you usually would.”, and the female students followed her fellow classmates out, and after a lap, she’d felt ill, and that there’s no, “no grade will be given to you” like she’d told her parents.

And so, this is now, a student-said, teacher-said case, and, there’s, no way of knowing, what the truth is now, because the adolescent girl is now, dead, but, she’d died, and the parents are, angry, and so, naturally, they’d, wanted to blame someone, for their, child’s, death.
