Girl attacked by boys in UAE school undergoes brain surgery

An Emirati school girl in the seventh class level in Abu Dhabi suffered from brain haemorrhage and underwent a major surgery after she was violently attacked by four little boys in the same school during break time.

The Abu Dhabi Education Council is investigating the case after the father criticised the school for failing to provide enough protection to students during break time and for refusing first to reveal the incident. He said the administration first told him his daughter just suffered from exhaustion and that she needed some rest at home.

The incident began when Lujain Hussein accidentally banged into a school boy in the fourth level, prompting him to hit her back. When she responded, the boy was joined with three class mates, who attacked Lujain, pushed her down on the ground and kicked her in the stomach and head many times.

Lujain fell unconscious before she had first aid at the school. She then started to vomit and sweat heavily, prompting the school to call her father.

At home, Lujain slept for a while before she woke up and began vomiting again. Her father then rushed her to hospital, where scanning showed she was suffering from a severe brain haemorrhage.

Her elder brother said Lujain was kept in the intensive care unit for two days until Saturday, when she underwent an operation to stop the bleeding.

He said doctors told the family that the operation was complicated and serious given Lujain’s little age and that she might have to be sent abroad for further treatment to prevent a possible stroke in the future.

“Her brother Mahran and her father accused the school of negligence for failing to provide protection to students during break time,” Emarat Alyoum daily said, adding that the school head mistress refused to comment on the grounds “there is no need for the media to intervene in this case.”

The paper said a committee sent by the Abu Dhabi Education Council to probe Thursday’s incident told the head mistress that she has been reported to the police by Lujain’s family. It said the Council is now awaiting reports from the police and the hospital to take the necessary measures.

Mom allegedly fired after donating kidney to boss

A divorced mom of two who donated her kidney to help save her boss was fired from work.

According to 'Perthnow', 47-year-old Debbie Stevens said 'I felt betrayed...became a kidney donor and she took my heart."

It is alleged that 61-year-old Jackie Brucia asked her for help when she did not receive any matching donors. However, she was not an exact match. So doctors asked Stevens to donate her left kidney to someone else in the transplant group so that Brucia could move up the waiting list and get one for herself from someone else.

However, Stevens returned home sick three days after re-joining work, when it is alleged that her boss called and berated her.

Brucia's husband , however, has denied the allegations. "She didn't fire anybody," he said
