Virginia boy, 12, choked by older girl on bus as school refuses to ban bully

Taylor Brock, Virginia mom, 12 year old son choked by older girl on school bus as administrators refuse to ban bully who is issued order of protection to keep away from boy in latest case of school bullying. Why does it keep happening? A Virginia mother has demanded school authorities take action against an older girl caught on surveillance video choking and bullying her 12 year old son during a recent attack on a school bus.

Taylor Brock, whose son is a seventh-grader at Walt Whitman Middle School in Alexandria, posted footage from the Jan. 23 incident on her blog Monday in which she calls out the older child’s behavior.

A one-minute clip shows the girl hitting her son, grabbing him by the mouth and neck, threatening him, and then apparently choking him while pushing him into the seat.

The driver is only heard warning students not to switch seats.

The incident according to the mom led to her son being left with red marks and bruises and now fearing riding the school bus.

...

My son came home crying, and I saw the marks on his neck,’ Brock told WUSA 9. ‘It breaks my heart that there are all these kids on the bus and not one decided to stand up.’

The mom wrote that the attacker was the same girl who had stolen a toy from her son months ago.

‘I immediately went to the school to show them the video of the assault and pictures of my son’s neck. Upon seeing this I was sure that the school would take proper action and keep not only my son safe but the other children on the bus and school safe too by expelling her,’ Brock wrote.

‘Surely, a child seen committing a heinous crime would get expelled from school,’ the mom added.

Brock told WJLA that she also filed a complaint with police.

‘The school said they couldn’t tell me what action would be taken against the girl but that they would take care of it,’ she told the outlet, adding that she obtained a protection order from a Fairfax County judge who ordered the girl to stay at least 50 feet away from her son for two years.

‘I found out from my son that she had come back to school after being merely suspended for a criminal act such as strangulation. How is that fair?’ Brock wrote.

...

The mom said the school assured her that her son and his assailant would not have the same classes and that the principal told the two children to walk apart in the hallways, WUSA reported.

But Brock said her son told her the girl sat behind him at lunch and crossed paths with him in the hallways.

‘Not only did the girl not take this protection order seriously, but the school didn’t either,’ Brock wrote.

She said that when she asked school officials why they merely suspended the girl, ‘they replied, ‘We have protocols we have to follow and execute punishment according to the School’s Code of Conduct.’’

‘From what I have been told, she is known for bullying but mostly bullies my son. He is an easy target as he is one of the shortest and skinniest children in his grade which was true for me growing up as well,’ Broke wrote in her blog.

‘This child committed a felony under adult standards and suspension was the ‘correct form of discipline?’’ she added.

...

According to guidance by the Virginia Department of Education, schools are not legally responsible for enforcing a court order, but safety should still be a priority and a school can determine steps if an order is violated.

A Fairfax County Public Schools rep told WUSA in a statement: ‘The school administration handled the situation in line with the student discipline manual (FCPS Student Rights and Responsibilities). We are unable to share further information due to federal privacy laws.’

Brock told WUSA she plans on moving her son to another school and he has sought therapy.

‘Do you know how many parents have come to me telling me their child were bullied, harassed, sexually assaulted, abused, and harmed at school and how they repeatedly go to the school asking them to do something and the school does nothing?’ the mom wrote.

‘These parents ask me what they need to do to get the schools to take action- and I have to say, ‘I don’t know. The school has video of a crime and a protection order and they still only believed that suspension was enough to keep my child safe,’ she added.

The incident comes after after a number of national bullying episodes being caught on video, including a 15 year old boy and another boy beating a 9 year old Florida girl on a school bus along with video of a 14-year-old New Jersey girl, Adriana Kuch, being mercilessly set upon by four girls in a school hallway, only for the girl to take her own life two days later after video of the assault began circulating social media.

In this case, I would say it is acceptable to hit a girl. This little mama’s boy needs to grow a set and defend himself.

The school admin and the teachers will do nothing. They are all blm disciples and will allow black people to do anything they want.

Reading such stories, including the one about the high school girl who committed suicide due to bullying by other girls, it’s my impression that females have become more violent than they used to be, although still less so than males. I wonder if there is data to confirm or refute this conjecture.

“It breaks my heart that there are all these kids on the bus and not one decided to stand up.’”

Woman sees a dangerous situation and sends her kid back into it and also blames kids for not protecting her child.

The negress is free from crime because like arrest resisters and shop lifters, she can’t be prosecuted

Had a friend in high school who used to be badly bullied by a gang of Mexican kids when he was in grade school.

They grew up faster but he grew up bigger. Much bigger . In fact, he went on to play pro football as a lineman.

He had a long memory and was the unforgiving type. He pretty much told them to either run out of his sight or get on their knees every time he passed them in the halls in high school

They did. Life is long and things change

Just sayin’

Rising OBESITY, falling IQs, soaring SENSE-OF-ENTITLEMENT and spreading ANTI-WHITE RACIST ANGER & HATE. All according to plan.

Not quite true.

Schools usually have a school resource police officer attached to the school onsite. Law enforcement officers can and should enforce a court order. Give the kid a cell phone with officer on speed dial.

Yup. I guessed...and confirmed. No surprise.

This should be no surprise either:

> The school admin and the teachers will do nothing. <

I’m a veteran public school teacher. And you’re kinda half right. School officials will do nothing. Yes, some of them are BLM types. But most of them are focused on just one thing: public relations. So they will try to ignore (and bury) any bad publicity.

Good for the kid’s mom for shining light on this matter.

And yes, some teachers are BLM types. But most of us are sickened by bulling. We do what we can to stop it. We call home. We write incident reports to school counselors and administrators, over and over again. But nothing is ever done, for the reason I mentioned above. It was infuriating.

Our school nurse got so upset by this that she created a safe space in her office. Bullied kids could eat lunch in peace there. God bless her.

The firm that makes the Life Alert buttons needs to make a version for the teaching staff & the kids, so they can get help ASAP.

There are a couple of worthless punks from Jr high that made my life miserable for awhile. I’ve long since left that shithole town, but have returned a few times. If I ever encounter them again they will end up in the hospital or worse.

School resource officers were defunded in Alexandria in early 2021. After numerous incidents, the board is now debating whether to get them back into schools.
