DETROIT – More than ten elementary students participated in a “fight lesson” that was recorded in the restroom of Dixon Elementary Learning Academy.

The mother of one of the boys told Fox 2 News that she was upset by the laughter and taunting of her son as he is encouraged in the video to hit back.

“Ten or more students in this restroom during school time, when they should be in the classroom learning,” she said. “Instead of in the bathroom having a fight club meeting or whatever you call it.”

“His fight was two minutes and 20 seconds long,” the mother said. “Nobody ever came in, nobody checked.”

The cell phone recording of the incident released by Fox 2 shows two of the boys delivering serious blows to each other.

Fox 2 says they intentionally blurred images on the video to protect the children’s identities.

In a statement to the news source, officials with the Detroit Public School system had this to say:

Immediately upon learning of an alleged incident at Dixon, the principal talked to students who may have been involved and is currently pursuing disciplinary action against any students who violated either the Code of Conduct and/or the Anti-Bullying Policy.

The principal also immediately engaged all students in assemblies to reiterate policies and procedures and will continue to do so.

According to the mother, after school officials learned of the video on Wednesday, they told her to pick her son up from school and for him not to return pending an investigation.

“I told him next time you feel if you’re ever in a situation in life and you feel uncomfortable, you can get up and leave,” said the mother. “You have that right to get up and leave and remove yourself from the situation.”

The mother told Fox 2 that, in light of the incident, she is forced to send her son to another school. “He says he doesn’t want to go back because he is afraid of the other kids finding out that it was him.”

Fox 2 reports that the mother said she feels her son and all children should feel safe at school and she wants school officials to do more to ensure that.

“They need to have more security or people back in the classroom to help the teachers,” she said.

In a similar incident in 2010, it was discovered that a group of students at a Queens elementary school were participating in a “fight club.”

Those fights, however, were allegedly being encouraged and set up by the kids’ fourth-grade teacher.

Fox News reported of the incident that during one of the matches, kids butted heads, leaving one student with a split lip and another with a possible concussion. The kids said their teacher told them to lie to the school nurse about how they were injured.
