Irvington teen held in assault in school

=================


15-year-old found injured in restroom

Thursday, July 17, 2008

BY REGINALD ROBERTS / Star-Ledger Staff


A 17-year-old juvenile has been arrested for the assault of a 15-year-old boy inside Irvington High School during summer ses sion, police said.

Police officers assigned to the school's resource team responded Tuesday about 8:30 a.m. after being called by high school administrators, police said. They found the student lying unresponsive on a restroom floor and immediately no tified Emergency Medical Services, police said.

The victim, whom family members identified as Anwar Patterson, was taken to University Hospital in Newark. He was listed in stable condition yesterday, according to Tiffany Smith, a spokeswoman for the hospital.

After an investigation by officers, the juvenile suspect of Irvington, who was not identified be cause of his age, was arrested and transported to the Essex County Youth House, police said.

He was scheduled to appear in juvenile court yesterday.

Norma Hilliard of Irvington, the grandmother of the victim, said the family learned of the incident through a cell phone call from a student inside the school. "Come to the school. Your brother's been hurt," was the urgent message of the caller, she said.

Had that call not been made, Pamela Patterson, the victim's mother, said she would not have known her son was hurt.

"No one called," she said of school officials. "Why didn't anybody call me?"

Patterson said when she got to the school, her son was lying on the restroom floor in the basement of the school having seizures. "I started screaming and crying," she said.

The suspect was involved Monday in a fight with two other people a few blocks from the school, Patterson said, adding that one of the people was a friend of her son's.

Patterson said she has heard conflicting stories of what led to the fight that involved her son.

"I want to know what happened," she said. Police did not say what led to the fight.

Patterson said principal Neely Hackett told her she would not be allowed to see the principal's report on the incident.

Hackett was on vacation at the time of the incident, but came to the school to investigate, school superintendent Ethel Davion said.

"I am saddened that we have a student in this condition," she said, but added that she would decline further comment until she has read Hackett's report.

This should be a great conference.

Hope you can attend!

Update:

To update you concerning Mery Gutierrez, our Gateway volunteer from Equador.. She is presently living two weeks with a sister int he Lord and a lovely couple from Calvary Tabernacle the church where Mery attends, has invited her to come and stay with them for a few weeks . this couple are also from Equador . THE LORD IS SO SO FAITHFUL. I wanted to say thank you to those who prayed for Mery and the many of those who I know would have opened their homes if you could. Blessings. Joan

Original request:

Mery Gutierrez is a part time volunteer at Gateway Pregnancy Center and has been for over a decade. She also does missionary work in her country the remaining months that she is not here in the USA usually between October and June.

Her country is Equador. Eventually she will live in Equador where she works at an orphanage and does other volunteer work. Until her time is up here for the Lords work she will venture back and forth.

She is in need of lodging until October when she will return to Equador. She has little belongings and has a car here. She also expects to pay for such help .

I need her here at the Gateway in Elizabeth. It would help if she can live somewhere in the vicinity.

Please seek the Lord if you feel you can open your home to Mery. She is a lovely woman filled with the Love of the Lord.

"And seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, pray to the Lord on its behalf for in its welfare you will have welfare. Jeremiah 29:7

Thank you and God Bless Everyone!!
