A staff member at a school for troubled young people in Swansea has died after being kicked in the chest by a student.
Officials say 53-year-old Amy Morrell of East Providence, Rhode Island died at the hospital yesterday, one day after the incident at Meadowridge Academy.
Morrell apparently tried to stop a 14-year-old female student from leaving a dormitory when she was kicked in the chest by the child.
The girl is charged as a juvenile with assault and battery causing serious injury.
She has already been arraigned in Juvenile Court.
