FREMONT, Neb. (WOWT) – The mother of a Fremont High School student who was struck by an SUV during a student protest said she is angry with school officials and believes they should have prevented the demonstration.
The student was hit by a red SUV while participating in an anti-ICE protest outside the school. She is now recovering at home with bumps and bruises.
“I think it mostly got me in my legs because my knees is what’s really bugging me right now,” the student said. “All I remember is that it was red.”
The girl’s mother said the incident should never have happened and that students were not informed enough to organize such a protest.
“First of all, I don’t feel she’s informed enough to have made a decision like the one that she made by doing a protest,” the mother said. “I don’t feel that any of the young people that were involved know enough about what’s going on to do or set up a protest because I feel they don’t know what they’re protesting.”
