A lot depends on how the kid was handled during and after. If the kid was hurt some other way, hit his head for example, and there was reason to fear for more serious damage or was about to bleed to death, he would be taken to intensive care as soon as possible.
This would be a traumatic experience, but he would understand later, it was necessary to haste to save his life.
I'm still not that convinced yet, this boy was in such acute state, there was no time to consult the parents at first or let them take care of him. Who says the school officials were more familiar with his condition than his own mother. Not knowing how the system works, they were though the first to decide, the boy needs help. When they contacted the medics, did they decide to take him away based on the officials' phone call or did someone come to make an estimate first?
From what I read, I get the impression his mother was there, when the ambulance took him away.
