The parents of a 12-year-old black girl have sued her Texas school after a group of white classmates allegedly wrapped a rope around her neck and “violently jerked” her to the ground, leaving burns in her skin that are documented in graphic photos included in the complaint.

The incident, which reportedly left the girl with a “severe and painful” rope cut on her neck, has brought national attention to Live Oak classical school, a largely white private school in Waco, Texas, that has been accused of having a history of bullying problems.

The lawsuit filed this week – which seeks damages of $3m for medical bills, physical pain, disfigurement and suffering – alleges that the school was negligent in its failure to protect the girl and in its response to the injuries.

The school has denied the allegations, arguing that the incident was an accident.

Don't you hate when you get accidentally lynched?

The pictures are pretty bad, she could very well be physically scarred for life. She could easily have been killed, with that much pressure being put on the rope to make it cut and burn like that.

"The school’s principal, Allison Buras, did not investigate whether the incident was intentional, and the school did not notify the girl’s mother, Sandy Rougely, the suit claims."


That school is going to get fucked so hard.



"David Deaconson, attorney for the school, said in an interview Thursday that the school’s investigation into the rope injuries “indicates that what happened was an unfortunate accident”."


Man I hate it when I'm playing with a noose and I accidently put it around someone's neck and pull as hard as I can, though.

of course the school is going to allege it was an accident

they can't handle children so i doubt they are handling 3 million

What kind of "accident" involves tying a noose around a girl's neck?

Yeah that school is done

3mil....
These things always demand the most ridiculous sums of money.
Not that I'm disagreeing with something being done about it.

Yeehaw Texas!

[Crispin]

Holy shit, talk about going way beyond "bullying problems"

The complaint includes an email from Buras to the mother that said: “It sounds like he may have pushed on the back of her leg to make her leg buckle, which is something the kids sometimes do. Rarely is that done out of meanness but more out of a desire for sport.”

What sick sport is that? The race issues in the states are out of this world.

Oh those pics are bad. Give her $5 mil and send the kids who did it to Juvy.

3.....3 MILLION??? get the fuck out of here

reliving the good old times

the scars on the girl's neck look severe, that could become quite costly for the school

[DeadmanWalking]

It doesn't matter if it was an 'accident' or not, she was in the care of the school and she came to physical harm, they are responsible. Throw the book at them now because it's over. When a child is at school they are not under parental supervision, they are under school supervision.

Omg hurry someone blame Trump.

Even if everyone involved in the incident had violet skin, this is fucked up. Those kids need detention or something. That's not a good social behaviour. Bullying is awful, and this neared some limit.

race threads aren't allowed here.

It's a thread about a severe case of bullying, Picnic. Easy there. Race may be the motivation, but an incident happened.

LET'S DISCUSSSSSS

Girl is well within her rights. She'll probably win as well.

This is fucked up, what kind of kids do that? Hell, this is fucked up without the obvious racial connotations.

What kind of "accident" involves tying a noose around a girl's neck?

Yeah that school is done

Where did it say there was a noose or any tying involved?

[Aori]

This is fucked up, what kind of kids do that? Hell, this is fucked up without the obvious racial connotations.

...it is common among redneck kids. This likely has nothing to do with race but just stupid kids and lack of supervision.

Not once did that article say anything about a noose.

Not once did that article say anything about a noose.

Does the presence of a noose actually matter here? Did you see the pictures...that was definitely caused by a rope or wire or something along those lines.
