Bullied schoolboy ‘will need miracle to survive’ after his head was bashed into concrete pillar
Diego was brutally attacked by two boy's who punched him in the head, causing him to hit his head on concrete.
A 13-year-old boy is clinging to life after a group of bullies attacked him, causing him to fall headfirst into a concrete pillar.
Video of the incident shows the boy, identified as Diego, as he is punched by two students in quick succession. Diego falls to the ground and the first student punches him one more time before both away.
The attack left Diego in critical condition after he hit his head on concrete – and his family is asking everyone to pay for a miracle, CBS reported.
Parents were outraged in the wake of the brutal fight and hit out at the school on Wednesday about the issue of bullying at the school.
One parent said: ‘Was the school aware that Diego was being bullied and was mentioned on social media. And if so, why was nothing done?’
The school said they are looking into the incident, but the crowd of irate parents demanded they answer the question.
Parent Leonardo Gonzalez said: ‘Bullying in Moreno Valley is an ongoing issue and every time it’s brought up, it’s swept under the rug.’

Another parent said: ‘How many more Diegos do we need for the school district to take action.’
This was not the first violent encounter at Landmark Middle School.
In March, a campus riot resulted in 19 students being treated for pepper spray exposure. The riot reportedly began after one girl attacked another girl from behind.
Some parents even claimed that Diego’s mother warned the school about the bullying, but officials at Landmark Middle School did nothing to stop it.
Police have since arrested the two students who allegedly attacked Diego. Both have been charged with assault likely to produce great bodily harm.
