DALTON, Ga. — District Attorney Bert Poston said he did a “follow up review” and has “made some decisions” last week concerning an April incident where a student was reportedly placed in a headlock in a restroom at North Murray High School by another student and then fell face first onto the floor.

“But because the case involves juveniles, I cannot discuss it with you further,” Poston said in an email to a reporter. “I can’t disclose what we’re doing or not doing or how it is ultimately resolved. I know that may be frustrating, but those are the rules in juvenile cases.”

Poston said he “met with the injured child’s mother about two weeks ago, before I went out of town and not long after the injury. We discussed the case and the services our office could provide to her.”

Bobbie Perales, the mother of the injured boy, Jesus Perales Jr., said Monday she had not heard anything from the district attorney’s office about how the case might be resolved. A report from the Murray County Sheriff’s Office said the incident was being investigated as a possible assault.

According to that report, on April 3 around 12:04 p.m. two students whose names were redacted ran into the lunchroom and told Deputy Kyle Parker, the school resource officer, that Jesus Perales Jr. “was in the bathroom screaming.” One of the students said he and Perales were “playing in the bathroom.”

He said he had placed Perales in a headlock and when he let him go Perales fell face first onto the floor.

The report said Parker went to the bathroom and saw Perales “rolling on the floor crying and holding his eye.” The report said Perales’ left eye was “slightly discolored and swollen.” Asked if he had been in a fight, Perales said no. The report said one student, whose name was redacted, was in the bathroom crying and apologizing to Perales.
