A 12-year-old boy was left with a fractured skull after he was 'body slammed' by a Florida school behavioral interventionist. Jarvis Delon West, 28, was arrested and charged with suspicion of failure to report child neglect and neglect of a child resulting in great bodily harm in relation to the incident that took place on Febuary 11.West is a behavioral interventionist at AMIkids Pinellas, a private non-profit school for at-risk children in St. Petersburg, and was working as a supervisor at the facility.

'As a result of the altercation, the victim started to vomit and it is believed that he lost consciousness on more than one occasion.' Instead of immediately getting the boy help, police say that he was still under adult supervision for two more hours before he was sent home.  He was given a 'trash can on the [school] bus in the event that the student vomited,' according to police. Police describe the man who body-slammed the child as being 5'7" and approximately 300lbs.
