WEST COLUMBIA, S.C. — The mother of a Springdale Elementary student is outraged about the response by school and law enforcement leaders to what she calls her 10-year-old daughter having a mental breakdown.
"What would any mother do in a situation like this," asked the child's mother. "I'm going to protect my daughter by any means necessary. The school district has failed my daughter enough, and it stops here."
