The unidentified student then stood over Walters and repeatedly punched him and stomped on his face before other students intervened to break up the fight. The unidentified student’s mother has declined comment on the incident. The boy’s father, Troy Walters, said the district did not contact him in the immediate aftermath of the altercation, and that he found out about the fight when his daughter sent him the video.
