Teen?s death leads family to push for changes in Maryland changes

The family of a teen killed at a school for juvenile offenders plans to ask state legislators to change reckless-endangerment laws to include inaction.

Counselors held Isaiah Simmons III facedown for nearly three hours in January 2007 at Bowling Brook Preparatory School in Keymar after the 17-year-old had an outburst, police say. The counselors, according to police, did not call 911 until 41 minutes after the East Baltimore teen stopped breathing.
