Girl, 14, repeatedly stomps, punches head of another girl in class: Cops. Victim hospitalized; suspect released to guardian.



A 14-year-old girl repeatedly stomped and punched the head of another 14-year-old girl in a Delaware high school classroom last week, police said — and while the victim was hospitalized, the suspect was released to a guardian.

What are the details?

Delaware State Police said the suspect entered a classroom in Lake Forest High School in Felton around 1 p.m. Dec. 19 and repeatedly punched and stomped on the victim’s head. Felton is just over an hour south of Wilmington.

Teachers removed the suspect from the classroom, and a school resource officer detained the suspect, police said.

The parent of the girl who was attacked took the victim to an area hospital, where she was treated for serious head injuries, police said.

The suspect on Saturday turned herself in on a charge of second-degree felony assault, police said, adding that she was arraigned at Justice of the Peace Court 7 and released to a guardian on a $5,000 unsecured bond.

How are folks reacting?

Commenters on a story about the incident posted to Yahoo News were incredulous over the extreme violence and how the legal system is handling things:

  • "Stomping a person's head is not assault, it is attempted MURDER," one commenter said. "Stomping the head is the prison method inmates use to kill. This little murderer's so-called parents should be be charged also."
  • "Felony assault? How about felony attempted murder. You punch someone that is assault; you stomp on someones head, that is attempted murder," another commenter added. "Make an example out of her. Charge her as an adult and send her to prison for at least 25 [years]. If she does not get in trouble in prison then she can get out; if she gets into trouble, then she stays there for life. She did this once; she will be able to do it again."
  • "We'll just a do a restorative circle, talk about why you stomped the girl, make sure you understand that 'you cannot stomp on the girl's head,' talk about who[se] fault this really is, like society, or some mythical mental condition, or some systemic 'thing,' we'll give you a cookie and hot chocolate, make sure you're okay and your feet aren't sore from stomping on the girl's head ... if they are, we'll massage them for you, then send you back to class ... this approach has made school violence so much more rare and much less severe than it was 25 or 30 years ago, right?" another commenter wondered.

'Very brutal': Woman in her mid-20s caught on video joining fight between two middle school girls, police say — and punching, kicking one girl in her head, face



Police said a woman who was caught on video punching and kicking a middle school girl in her head and face will be charged with felony assault, C&G Newspapers reported.

What are the details?

Video of the incident shows two girls hitting each other around 7 a.m. outside Roseville Middle School in Michigan on Nov. 22, the paper said.

Soon the clip shows that a woman in her mid-20s, who's related to one of the girls in the fight, shows up and begins swinging at the other girl, C&G Newspapers said. The woman is wearing red shoes.

The woman then appears to kick the same girl twice in the face, the paper said.

“We’ve identified the adult. We secured a warrant [Dec. 1] for her arrest,” Roseville Police Department Deputy Chief Mitchell Berlin told the paper. “We are working with another jurisdiction in an attempt to pick her up as we speak.”

It was unclear what sparked the fight, C&G Newspapers said, adding that Roseville Community Schools Superintendent Mark Blaszkowski would not comment on what grades the students involved are in.

“The two girls got into a fight. Another individual who does not go to our school intervened and joined in the fight,” Blaszkowski added to the paper.

The woman who joined in the fight reportedly left the scene with the girl to whom she's related, C&G Newspapers said.

WJBK-TV reported that after a 911 call, officers arrived at the scene and administered aid to the beaten-up student.

“She kicked a junior high student in the face at least twice, as well as struck her in the head numerous times,” Berlin told the paper. “She came in as a third party in the altercation and blindsided the young girl. When the girl went down, she kicked her in the face twice, causing injury to the young girl. It’s very brutal, uncalled for, and won’t be tolerated in the city of Roseville.”

Blaszkowski declined to comment to C&G Newspapers regarding whether the students were suspended but did say the parents of the student kicked in the face were called and alerted about what happened.

WJBK interviewed shocked parents who said they weren't even notified about the fight.

Roseville police on Tuesday didn't immediately reply to TheBlaze's request for additional information on the woman they've identified in the video.
