The victim of last week's assault at Brashear High School is having nightmares, screaming in his sleep as he recovers from injuries including a concussion.
18-year-old student Quincey Garland is charged with aggravated assault after a video incident showing the 17-year-old teen being thrown to the floor and someone stomping on his head.
Eric Pettus, a cousin of the victim, tells NewsRadio KDKA's Marty Griffin his cousin was attacked by Garland three times before last week's incident.
"School is completely aware of it. It's just a colossal failure to follow their own policies, state law," said Pettus. "It is a miracle in and of itself that he is alive."
Brashear's principal is on administrative leave during an investigation.
