Texas boy, 12, hospitalized after being found unconscious on street after stranger forced him to swallow acetone at school, mother says

It’s been per week since Chandra Weekley’s 12-year-old son was found unconscious and foaming at the mouth after coming back from school in suburban Dallas, and he or she still hasn’t gotten answers about what happened to him.

However, her son, Tristan Weekley, stays in hospital in intensive care after a toxicologist concluded the boy had swallowed acetone, a chemical utilized in nail polish remover and paint thinners that could cause drowsiness and disorientation in people when consumed in large amounts.

All she knows is what her son told her hours after he was found and rushed to the hospital. The mom says Tristan told her that a lady approached him at Wester Middle School in Frisco and offered him ice cream. But when he refused, the girl smashed the ice cream in his face.

“My son reported that a woman approached him in the bathroom at school,” Weekley explained within the article. video interview with Smash Da Topic, second of two interviews.

“My son said she approached him at school and asked him to come here. He said she wasn’t a teacher, but worked for the school.”

Weekley says the varsity’s security camera shows her son was within the cafeteria just a few minutes before school ended at 3:45 p.m. before he walked out of the varsity and took off his backpack, letting it fall to the bottom. He then began running in a single direction before changing route and running in one other direction.

He was found unconscious on someone’s porch a few 20-minute walk from the varsity, in a totally different direction than their home.

“Help me, I don’t know anyone,” he told the residents of the home before it collapsed, Weekley said in the primary episode of Smash Da Topic v.idea interview about what her son told the residents of the home.

She said she has hired a lawyer. Atlanta Black Star contacted Weekley, but quite a few attempts were unsuccessful. However, local station CBS Texas reportedly reviewed Tristan’s medical records.

“All I can say is the truth will come out,” she said. “My lawyer is handling it.”

School and police response

Both Wester Middle School and the Frisco Police Department issued statements Monday confirming they were investigating the incident, while suggesting no crime occurred on school grounds — contradicting the boy’s claim that he was approached by a lady with ice cream inside the varsity constructing.

Here is an excerpt from a press release released by Frisco police:

The police department instructed Atlanta Black Star to obtain Weekley’s signature before releasing the police report since the victim is a minor.

Here is an excerpt from a press release issued by Western Middle School Principal Katie Granado:

But something clearly happened to the boy that day because he was behaving completely normally when he left home for varsity within the morning, and now he’s fighting to survive, according to his mother.

“We almost lost him,” Weekley said in his first video interview with Smash Da Topic. “They said his heart rate went up to 170.”

First week of college

Like many parents, Weekley proudly posted a photograph of her son and daughter on Facebook, commemorating their first day of college on Aug. 12.

It was Tristan’s first day at Western Middle School. In the photo, her son and daughter are holding hands in a gesture of peace.

But the subsequent day, things took a drastic turn when he was found unconscious on someone’s doorstep and brought to hospital, where he stays to today.

Weekley said she told her son to wait for her across the street from the varsity after classes ended so she could pick him up.

But when she arrived at school at 3:55 p.m., ten minutes after classes ended, he was nowhere to be found. She thought he may need been on his way home, so she called her boyfriend and asked him to drive from his house to the varsity, hoping to find him.

But an hour later, there was still no sign of him, so she called 911 to report her son missing. She said the dispatcher kept her on the road for greater than quarter-hour before he returned the decision and allowed her to speak to a police officer at the scene, who told her they’d found a boy matching her son’s description but weren’t sure it was him.

“Are you sure your child doesn’t have special needs since he’s foaming at the mouth and not talking?” the officer told her.

When she told him her son did not have special needs, they assumed it was one other child, but she knew it was her son because they described his clothes, including the Batman underwear he was wearing that day.

About five hours later, within the hospital, when he regained consciousness, her son told her the story concerning the woman with the ice cream, which she assumed was foam coming out of his mouth.

“What my son told me was consistent with why he was acting so erratically, that he walked across the cafeteria so quickly, put down his backpack and started running,” she said.

“He was in danger. He knew he was in danger.”
