DISTRICT HEIGHTS, Md. -
A 7-year-old girl at Thomas Claggett Elementary School in District Heights, Md., was beaten unconscious by at least four classmates Tuesday morning.
It happened during recess in the school’s gymnasium.
The little girl’s parents say their daughter was taken by ambulance to Children's Hospital in D.C. She was diagnosed with a mild concussion.
Her mother, Phersephone Holland, says she can't believe it happened at school.
"That's my baby. I bring her to school and that's the least thing I expect is a phone call informing me that my daughter is unconscious,” she says.
Holland says she is wondering where all the adults were during the attack. So is the victim's father, Rodney Smyers. He says this isn't the first time his daughter has been bullied and hit at school.

I agree, the laws that protect minors from prosecution are what is driving this.
93% chance mom believes in "Hope" and "Change", though.
A certain lack of a specific detail tells me all I need to know.
Its inside the DC beltway too.
Way back in late 1990s I visited a friend in nearby Upper Marlboro Maryland,that's just a few miles east of there, but outside that beltway, and it was Obama-country for sure.
I bet lots of foreclosures too place there.
in what part of Liberia is District Heights, Md. located?
You flunk current events. On statistical grounds most crime is black on black. On listening to the news cast, being white with two black parents rates a probability of being white at 0.00001
No doubt, see : #24
Hey, Slick Willie, the first black president (and serial rapist) who had a white mother and a white sperm donor.
Hey lady. . .gubment schools today are nothing more than the AAA farm league for the state penitentiary
I wonder who was Black, and who was white. A logical question.
“I’m going to assume the little girl was white and the perps were all black.”
You didn’t watch the video ...
The story says 75 students were being supervised by "only" 5 teachers. Evidently these teachers are not competent to look after 15 7-year-old children each...
This is what we have inherited in the name of equality. I know that sounds stark, but there is no other way to describe it. That is not a racial knee jerk observation by any stretch. Our public accommodations have been an open invitation to this kind of behavior over almost fifty years of social experimentation. No corporal punishment, no penalty for anti social behavior of any kind.
I know that area very well. Nearby Oxon Hill was a very liveable community in the early sixties when my lounger brother lived there, as well as any number of other young employees of the FBI. Getting there from downtown D. C., however, was not so trouble free.
PG County public schools are generally among the worst public schools. It’s a shame that children are forced into these concentration camps. District Heights is among the worst areas in PG County. I spent three years in PG County public schools, when they weren’t even 10% as bad. Nonetheless, to avoid injury or death, I had to leave.
That being said, at the same time the county runs the concentration camps for most of their students, the county actually has some decent magnet programs that are competitive with many of the regional private schools.
Libs will claim this as proof public schools are underfunded and need more teacher raises and smaller classes.
Talking on their Phersephones.
Just another day in the indoctrination camps aka public school. I strongly encourage everyone with school-age children to home school them or send them to private/parochial schools. If these options are not possible, then be proactively involved with your children’s schools and especially their teachers.
75 7 year olds “crammed” in a gym, supervised by “only” 5 teachers. Probably the 5 teachers talking to each other with 75 kids running wild with no supervision.
“75 students were being supervised by “only” 5 teachers.”
Clearly it’s the school’s fault.
