According to the lawsuit, filed in Miami federal court, the older boy tripped the 11-year-old, causing him to hit his head on a bed frame. His mother alleges in the lawsuit that officials at the facility placed the child back in the room with his attacker after he was treated at a hospital. The lawsuit was filed against Illinois-based company, Heartland Human Care Services, Inc., which runs the shelter for immigrant children in Chicago.
