Seven students — some as young as 5 — hit with battery charges for alleged school bus beatdown on 7-year-old classmate (Georgia)

Seven Georgia students — some as young as 5 — were arrested for allegedly attacking their 7-year-old classmate during an early morning bus ride to school, according to police.

The alleged attackers, who range in age from 5 to 14, were slapped with battery charges for the vicious beatdown that erupted while their bus was en route to Mattie Lively Elementary School in Statesboro on April 18, the Bulloch County Sheriff’s Office announced Wednesday.

Police said they were notified of the heinous assault roughly a week later and identified the troubled students after reviewing the transport’s security footage, which captured the unruly group teaming up to attack the young child, WSAV reported.

“One child came over the seat and basically used his feet to stomp on this 7-year-old,” Captain Todd Hutchens told the outlet, adding that it was a “violent attack.”

“Five-year-olds know right from wrong. They hold responsibility just like an adult, just like a 14-year-old. They know better than to start jumping on a child and striking that child with a hand or a first or a book or those types of things.”

The student only suffered some bruising as a result of the assault, WTOC reported.

Grades PK, K-5

So the 14-year-old is in at most 5th grade. From a school rating website: rating is 4/10.

Let that sink in!
Get your child out of that Loser-Ville asap!
Maybe money or travel is an issue.
I think students have to go to certain schools in their districts. That’s how it was in the Olden Days, anyway.

Too young to be “teens,” but definitely “youths.”

No children that young should be arrested by any police force.   Tagging a child as a criminal will scar them for life.   It is unconscionable.

They arrest the 70 year old White school bus driver? They expect him to pull over and discipline 14 yr. old Javarius and 13 yr. old Demarcus who are probably both over 6 ft tall? (not including their tarantula hairdo) He likely feared for his life.

Did you forget to indicate sarcasm or do you want roving packs of little feral monsters?

Unfortunately, black families are letting their children become feral rather than disciplining them.

The attackers should be banned from the bus. Their parents will need to drive them to school.
