i Bused black student dies after taunting Hoosierland news summary CHICAGO (UPI) Seven-year-old Mellaine Tamer walked into school to the Uunti of white. She left delirious and died witii the same taunts on her lips. "Go hack, co back, go back where you belong, the crowd of angry whites chanted at Mellaine and S3 other black children arriving at Stevenson Elementary School Tuesday under a voluntary busing plan. "Up with sickle cell anemia," some bleated. At about 10 a.m.

Tuesday, school officials said, Mellaine was taken to the principal's office. She complained of chest pains and was shaking and crying. She died about 10 hours later at Wyler Children's Hospital, apparently of sickle cell crisis. Her parents, Joe and Helen Turner, told officials of Operation PUSH that the dying child kept repeating "Go back! Go back! Go back where you belong! "If the child was stressed enough, it is a possibility that such an event could trigger an attack," said Dr. Earl Fredrick, a spokesman for the Midwest Association for Sickle Cell Anemia.

"That it is likely, I wouldn't want to say." A cardiologist who asked not to be identified also said the protest could have "created the atmosphere for the attack. The disease obviously did the rest." He said the disease would have reduced her physical ability to deal with stress. Doctors said the sickle cell attack could have been induced by the jeers of protestors. In patients with sickle cell anemia, a hereditary blood disease most prevalent among blacks, red blood cells can change from round to a sickle shape when oxygen levels in the blood fall. The sickle shaped cells block blood flow, lessening the victim's ability to supply blood to body tissues.

This lack of oxygen causes the painful sickle cell crisis. Mellaine's parents said she appeared perfectly healthy when she left for school Tuesday with her twin brother, Marvin. "Mellaine, Marvin and I ran all the way to get the bus because it was raining," Mrs. Turner said. "She showed no signs of being sick." The Rev.

Jesse Jackson, head of Operation PUSH, called a news conference today to discuss the case. Frank Watkins, a spokesman for PUSH, said the child's last words may indicate that the protest was a factor in her death. The demonstrations continued Wednesday. And at Stevenson Elementary School, police said, the jeers heightened as word of Mellaine's death filtered through the throng. "Hooray for sickle cell." several chanted.
