In a gripping testimony at a LA News Center school board meeting, a young girl recounted a chilling scene she witnessed in her middle school cafeteria, where a 13-year-old classmate was brutally attacked with a Stanley cup.
“I Told You It Was Going to Happen”
“I don’t get how you couldn’t have stopped it,” the girl exclaimed. “It was five hours from when I told you it was going to happen.” She alleged that she had informed a counselor about her classmate’s “hit list,” only to be reassured that the situation was under control.
- Surveillance footage captured the attack, showing the victim bleeding profusely from head wounds sustained from repeated blows.
“We Had to Watch Them Clean Up Her Blood”
The girl vividly described the horrific scene: “There was blood going everywhere. We had to watch them take her out with blood dripping down her face.” She expressed outrage that students were forced to witness the cleanup, including the victim’s repeated threats to kill her attacker.
- Parents raised concerns about why students were detained in the cafeteria for nearly 30 minutes while the cleanup occurred.
“Everyone’s Due Process Rights”
Despite the questioning from parents and students, North Penn School Board Director Christian Fusco stated that the district could not provide any information due to “everyone’s due process rights and the law.”
- School officials have promised to make resources available to students impacted by the incident.
Fallout and Questions
The attack, which occurred at Pennbrook Middle School, has raised questions about school security and crisis management. The school board is now facing intense scrutiny over its handling of the incident, including whether proper protocols were followed.
- Some parents have demanded answers about why the alleged attacker remained in the school after being implicated in the “hit list.”
As the community grapples with the trauma of this event, the girl’s testimony serves as a sobering reminder of the need for vigilance and effective school safety measures. The investigation into the incident is ongoing, and it is hoped that a thorough review will help prevent such tragedies from happening again.
