Schools are too busy going after little boys who make pop tart guns…
(CBS News) JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – After a violent attack on a middle school student in Jacksonville, a judge said he’d seen enough.
He banned the teenage attacker from the area’s public schools, but that decision put school officials in an unusual position.
Two months ago, Aria Jewett was lured into a fight near her middle school.
“I tried to walk away,” Jewett said, adding that that was the moment the attacker grabbed her. “I didn’t even know it was coming.”
The cell phone video of the assault is hard to watch. Her attacker, another 14-year-old eighth grader, slammed Jewett’s head into a stone wall. After she fell, defenseless, the attacker sat down and beat repeatedly. Jewett estimates 30 kids watched.
“She had everyone else videotape it,” Jewett said. “She had the girl bring me over there. She probably had this planned.”
Jewett suffered a fractured skull. Her attacker was arrested for aggravated assault, and removed permanently from Oceanway Middle School in Jacksonville.
