Brutal school assault caught on video: Parents demand justice for Maryland teen
Teen attacked at Maryland school, parents demand arrests
A Prince George’s County public high school student is attacked in Oxon Hill, with some of the brutality captured on cell phone video. The girl’s parents are demanding that police arrest the teenage suspects. FOX 5’s Shomari Stone has the story.
OXON HILL, Md. – A 14-year-old student at Potomac High School in Oxon Hill, Maryland, was brutally attacked last Thursday, and some of the assault was captured on cell phone video.
The girl’s parents are demanding justice, and are now calling on police to arrest the teenage suspects involved in the attack.
The incident took place in a utility room on school property, where the girl was ambushed by seven other students. The cell phone footage shows the victim screaming in pain as the attackers repeatedly punch her in the head and face, ultimately breaking her nose as she crouches on the ground.
After the assault, the girl was found in the utility closet, seriously injured and unresponsive in her own blood. Her parents say it took about 30 minutes for school officials to locate her.
Emergency medics later transported her to a hospital for treatment.
The girl’s father, speaking exclusively to FOX 5’s Shomari Stone, expressed his concerns about his daughter’s safety, saying, “I don’t feel safe sending my daughter back to any PG County school to be honest with you, because if this happened at this school, I’m pretty sure that there are rules and regulations in their training programs, it’s all the same.”
A spokesperson for Prince George’s County Public Schools issued a statement, saying, “The safety of students is our top priority. On December 5, an incident at Potomac High School resulted in injuries to a student. Our safety and security personnel immediately responded to address the situation. School district administrators are in contact with the student’s family, and we are working to provide any necessary mental health support to the victim. The incident is under active investigation. Due to FERPA privacy laws, we are unable to provide additional information.”
Prince George’s County police have instructed the girl’s family to contact the Department of Juvenile Services regarding potential criminal charges. The family is now awaiting an update on the investigation.
