DENTON — A criminal investigation is unfolding in Denton after a 13-year-old girl is attacked on a school bus by adults.

The bus was leaving Bettye Myers Middle School last week when the 8th-grade girl says she was attacked by someone she says she didn't really know.

Earlier in the day, she'd heard rumors that the girl, new to the school, wanted to fight her.

"She said if I didn't keep her name out of my mouth, then she was going to beat me up," explained the student we'll call "Nicole" to protect her identity.

She says when she refused to get off the bus and fight, the girl hit her and she fought back to defend herself.

"I was scared," shares Nicole... her eyes filling with tears and her voice beginning to shake.

She says it was only when she heard the other girl yell "Mom" that she realized that an adult had joined the fray.

"I was wishing I had my Mama," she admits through tears, "because nobody helped me."

Not then, not earlier. Nicole says she told a school assistant principal and a counselor about the threats earlier in the day. She says she was later told that school officials spoke to the girl who attacked her, but it didn't seem to matter.

"And I guess one of the women came and put me in a choke hold on the bus," she shared.

Other students on the bus pulled out cellphones and recorded the horrifying attack... but there was more.

Nicole says after the two women got off the bus, they followed it to her stop and when she got off the bus she was attacked again. The cellphone video shows the 13-year-old on the ground, screaming.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

Ghettoese is loaded with phrases which demand respect, because ghetto-dwellers can’t earn respect.

The child looks and sounds to be intelligent and sure as hell should not be in any public school. There are many homeschoolers in the city and suburbs. Many are on line and can be found. Mom should find them.. Most would be very happy to help get the project going and solvent.

>> Priority #1 with the administration was always public relations. Gotta make the school look good. So suppress any safety concerns. The well-being of staff and students was of no importance.

This is exactly why I don’t like school PDs that are run by the school administration. If there are to be cops in schools, I want them to be preferably be sheriff’s deputies answerable to an elected county sheriff, or alternatively cops from a municipal PD ultimately answerable to an elected city council. Letting the school systems run cops is absurd. Too much opportunity for things to get swept under the rug.

Yes, a good Christian homeschool group would welcome her with open arms.
