Middle school boy had to have skull partially removed after being attacked in cafeteria 'over a joke'

A Texas middle schooler had to have his skull partially removed after he was brutally attacked by another student over a joke, according to his parents.

Lukas Hardeman, 14, was severely injured on August 21 after another child 'picked him up and body slammed him' inside a cafeteria at a school in Kilgore, his parents wrote on a GoFundMe page.

After Hardeman cracked a joke, he was thrown into a metal pole attached to a stool and left with multiple brain bleeds, swelling, and more than 60 staples in his head.

Since August 20, ambulances have been rushed to the district's middle school twice, and once to the high school, KLTV reported.
