12-year-old Henry Sembdner has recently come out of a medically induced coma after he was severely beaten by one of his classmates at Kenyon Woods Middle School in suburban South Elgin, IL.
Henry was attacked and received multiple skull fractures after he hit his head on the floor after being slammed because he bumped into another student in the hallways during a passing period.
That student was then taken into custody.
Rizzo heard about the incident and also heard that Henry was a huge Cubs fan.
