Botched swat raid leads to $3.6 MILLION IN FLASH-BANG GRENADE MAIMING OF BABY

"The parents of a baby injured by a flash-bang grenade during a no-knock multi-agency task force raid in Georgia, will be awarded $3.6 million after a federal judge's decision on Friday.

19-month-old Bounkham Phonesavah (Baby Bou Bou) spent weeks in a burn unit after deputies with a Cornelia Police Department SWAT team threw a flash bang grenade directly into his crib, which exploded in his face, leaving him permanently disfigured.

The raid was conducted at around 3:00 am for a drug suspect that wasn't even in the house. By happen-stance, the Phonesavanh family was staying at the residence with relatives because their home in Wisconsin had just burned down.

"[The grenade] landed in his playpen and exploded on his pillow right in his face," Bou Bou's mother, Alecia Phonesavanh said at the time. "He's only a baby. He didn't deserve any of this."

Following the raid, the child was rushed to the Grady Memorial Hospital where he was put into a medically induced coma. In the wake of the incident, Habersham County attorneys said that "the board of commissioners concluded that it would be in violation of the law" to pay for Bou Bou's medical bills."
