The mother of the toddler told Channel 2 Action News Friday morning that the boy remains in a medically-induced coma.
He is in a medically induced coma and he is paralyzed. I hope hes not going to remember this. I know his sisters, his mommy and his daddy will never forget this," the boy's mother, Alecia Phonesavanh, said. "Our kids have been through enough this year. This is just more trauma that they didnt need, and I just wish there was something better I could do to make it better for him. Wrong place, wrong time. Theres nothing I can do about it."
The family's home in Wisconsin recently burned down, prompting their trop to Atlanta to visit family.
Theres nothing we can do to change the situation, my husband and I would gladly both give up our lives just to see him not like this. Hes such a happy little boy, and to see him like this laying there, not moving, its heartbreaking. We just want to hold him and we cant," Phonesavanh said.
A family says a SWAT team raided their home in the middle of the night and seriously injured a 19-month-old boy with a stun grenade.
Alecia Phonesavanh told Channel 2s Ryan Young her child is at the Grady Memorial Hospital burn unit, and is in a medically induced coma.

I don't think the cops should be using flash bang grenades in these no-knock raids.

The baby's parents should sue the police for the medical costs, at least.
