A 17-year-old black teenager was caught on tape assaulting a 5-year-old white girl while riding on a school bus in South Carolina.
The teen, Tavon Walters, was on probation at the time of the assault. It's not clear why he was allowed to ride the bus with a 5-year-old that's 12 years his junior. Nonetheless, the school's superintendent Phyllis Schwarting defended Tavon's actions saying: "The behavior on the bus was not any more abnormal than most buses."
From Global News:
A five-year-old girl from South Carolina is now scared to ride the school bus after a 17-year-old boy allegedly hit her in the face, said the child’s father.
Terry Peters, the father of five-year-old Jasmine, told NBC affiliate WAGT News, that when he picked up his daughter from the school bus last week he noticed a mark on her face.
“People came out and they began to state to me that she got slapped on the school bus,” said Peters to WAGT. “I’m very upset, I’m mad.”
Surveillance video from the bus appears to show the teen reaching over a school bus seat and using another student’s hand to hit Jasmine on the right side of her face.
“He had reached over that seat and he was telling another girl that ‘if you don’t hit her then I’m going to hit her for you,’” explained Peters.
Author Colin Flaherty highlighted the video on his YouTube channel:
There was a question of whether Tavon caused the girl's visible injuries as they say the marks were on the opposite side of her face. Police have since said they believe the photo may have been flipped.
Bamberg District superintendent Phyllis Schwarting is going all in trying to claim the girl must have got the hand print shaped mark from somewhere else:
Liz Owens: "This kid has been in trouble at school before no secret, they're saying he's on probation, why is it that someone who has a history like that allowed to ride the bus, especially with young students?"
Phyllis Schwarting: "Well, he had not had any bus incidents for one."
Liz Owens: "So it doesn't really matter how bad of trouble you get in at school? You could hit a kid at school or have a history of being violent at school as long, as that didn't happen on the bus, he's not going to lose his bus privileges?"
Phyllis Schwarting: "Well that's sort of taking things out of context."
Schwarting would not comment on the possibility of the picture being flipped. She told Liz Owens, "I have information to the contrary."
Clearly, this is just another innocent black man being framed for a crime he didn't commit.

They did demand their “Rights,” they got their “Rights” and now we see what they do with those “Rights.”
My Father probably would have beaten me half to death for Hitting a Girl. How about this Kids Father?? Or his Obama and The Government his daddy?
Tayvon = Trayvon = He’s a victim of white people!
And when the girls father kicks the crap out of the puck he’s going to get in trouble!
Poor little one. She’s not much more than a baby.
Sick! Where is the outrage?
Disgraceful! I’ve seen this story many times in the last few days, and nowhere do I see any response from his parents.
Have they no shame at all? There is no excuse. The parents of the little girl need to remove her from that school immediately. The school seems prepared to ignore this, so not to upset Black Lives Matter. Little girl’s family; Call your lawyer asap!.
Hating white people has become an entitlement. Liberals don’t just tolerate it; they encourage it.
“The behavior on the bus was not any more abnormal than most buses.”
What kind of school district are they running down there, a gladiator school?
This is a rare instance when “The Media” really does help people by exposing unfair and unwise school policies.
The Media is still capable of doing actual reporting after all!
do not trust the school system to do the right thing. go down to the police station and file an official complaint, and demand an arrest. then get a lawyer and go after the school
This is a piece of trash. I would condemn any boy of any race for doing this to any little girl.
The dems have decided to allow street savages to attack whites in exchange for votes and contributions. They gave established a specially-privileged group and taken away our rights.
What I wanted to post would get me thrown off.
“Out of context”???
Is there really a context in which it’s OK for a 17-year-old to hit a 5-year-old?
AEM.......the school superintendent needs a visit from a badd @zzzz attorney to adjust her attitude.
Sounds like assault to me.
I only thought this was ‘normal’ in countries that follow Sharia?
Phyllis you ignorant slut!
You should be resigned
