The family of August Borden, a football player at Deshler High School, is searching for clarity following a grave incident that left their son with a serious injury. Reports indicate that Borden suffered a skull fracture and a significant concussion, which resulted in him being hospitalized and unconscious for several days, as reported by WAAY 31.
Last Tuesday, Borden’s parents received an alarming call to come to the school, where they discovered their son being transported into an ambulance. Due to the severity of his injuries, he was subsequently airlifted to UAB Hospital for urgent medical care. The family has expressed skepticism regarding the school’s account of the events, which attributes the injuries to a fall. They have raised concerns about the absence of surveillance cameras at the school’s entrance, which they believe could provide crucial evidence regarding the circumstances surrounding the incident.
In light of these concerns, the family is demanding transparency and accountability from those who were present during the occurrence. The Tuscumbia police department has confirmed that they are conducting an active investigation into the matter. Although the family has engaged in discussions with both school officials and law enforcement, they have reported that no new information has emerged from these meetings.
As August Borden continues on his path to recovery, his family is reaching out to the community for support and prayers during this challenging time.
