A 6-year-old boy in Olympia was assaulted after he says he stood up to a group of kids who were bullying his friend.
Carter and his mother Dana English left Harborview Medical Center in Seattle on Friday afternoon after a morning surgery to repair a laceration in his eye.
“It’s been hell,” Dana said. “I haven’t slept. I haven’t eaten. I can’t do anything. I can’t even leave his side.”
Carter says he was attacked by a group of kids around his age at his Olympia apartment complex Wednesday afternoon. He says he confronted the group for bullying his friend.
“They were just bullying him, like beating him up,” Carter said. “I just told them to stop... and then they did it to me.”
They beat Carter with rocks and sticks, and rubbed sawdust in his eyes. He ended up with a broken arm, lacerated eye and several cuts and bruises across his head and face.
Olympia Police are now investigating. They identified a 5-year-old who they believe started all this, and they’re planning to get social services involved. They say the case was briefly presented to the prosecutor’s office, but due to the age of everyone involved, the case will not result in a criminal referral.
Carter may need surgery on his arm, and definitely needs some rest, as he deals with the consequence of standing up for what’s right.
“I really don’t know what I’m hoping for other than for people to know that this is not acceptable,” Dana said. “Bullying is not okay. There’s no reason to bully someone ever."
Friends have set up a GoFundMe account to help the family with medical expenses.
Brave and moral young boy. He has learned not to confront a group of bullies if you are alone.

Yes, he’s too young to concealed carry; and loners karate-kick their way out of an attacking pack of thugs only in the movies.
Sorry, you are correct. That’s what I meant.
And of course the snowflake administration will suspend the kid for fighting - bullies, meh.
Pepper Spray.
Does Dr. Spock come to mind?
I was very lucky growing up. We had a lot of mean kids around but I was fairly good at defending myself, and my best friend was pro lineman material. As a high school senior he could drop a quarter thro his ring.
LOL "Animal Mother" would make a pretty good bodyguard.
“What kindergartener thinks of things like that???”
Muslim refugees starting a child slavery ‘grooming gang’ like in England.
With no assistance from the parents' health insurance, all out of their pocket. Might teach the parents to ensure that their "little darlings" get to learn right from wrong.
FIVE years old? The ringleader?
We certainly have raised a FERAL army- and they are proving me correct at a younger & younger age.
This kid is totally broken. Put him into a rubber room & keep him there or put him down.
“They identified a 5-year-old who they believe started all this...”
For a 5 y/o to be this far gone there must be some kind of serious issues in his head or at home. Normal 5 y/o’s don’t break arms and rub saw dust in someones eyes.

One of the bullies is 5...amazing...
