The mother of an 11-year-old girl is suing a Detroit charter school after the gym teacher struck her daughter in the head with a metal hockey stick and allegedly left her to bleed profusely without supervision or medical attention. The lawsuit filed in Wayne County Circuit Court says the girl’s mother, Christal Stanley, came to Hope of Detroit Academy in May 2022 and found her daughter alone in a hallway “covered in her own blood.” The gym teacher, Jacqueline Sidney Brown, was convicted of 4th degree child abuse and sentenced Thursday to probation and anger management classes.
