An Alabama high school baseball player suffered a concussion after his teammates pelted him with pillows during a hazing incident, according to a lawsuit filed Wednesday against his school district, principal, coaches and others.
Jaiden, a freshman on the high school’s junior varsity baseball team, attended a Midnight Madness event with his teammates at an indoor facility at the school on Jan. 16, where the 39 team members were to scrimmage, practice eat and socialize, according to the lawsuit filed in St. Clair County Circuit Court.
The next morning, Jaiden told his parents he didn’t feel well, but unaware that he was hazed, they required him to go to school. Later that morning, Jaiden’s mother texted Collins her concern about the event. An hour later, she received a video from the Midnight Madness showing “baseball players hitting a child laying on the floor with pillows,” the lawsuit went on to state.
Jaiden gave a verbal statement to school system officials and Pell City police on Feb. 1, but the department determined there was no ill intent “and the case was closed,” according to the suit.
