SWAT raid leaves toddler paralyzed and in a induced coma

[Lancero]

ATLANTA — The mother of the toddler injured after a flashbang was thrown into the home where their family was staying told Channel 2 Action News Friday morning that the boy remains in a medically-induced coma.

“He is in a medically induced coma and he is paralyzed. I hope he’s not going to remember this. I know his sisters, his mommy and his daddy will never forget this," the boy's mother, Alecia Phonesavanh, said. "Our kids have been through enough this year. This is just more trauma that they didn’t need, and I just wish there was something better I could do to make it better for him. Wrong place, wrong time. There’s nothing I can do about it."

...A family says a SWAT team raided their home in the middle of the night and seriously injured a 19-month-old boy with a stun grenade.

..."The cops threw that grenade in the door without looking first, and it landed right in the playpen and exploded on his pillow right in his face."

Follow up - The toddler has lost use of one lung, and has a laceration on his chest that can't be closed due to the stun grenade charring the surrounding skin.

1. Let me predict, no cops will be charged or punished. nt

2. The family does not have health insurance.

One of the reports say that they are from Wisconsin. Did they apply or get kicked off of badger care? He says they're from Michigan.
