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.
>>Parents need to administer corporal punishment.
“Parents” is plural. I’m betting on single mom households for the bully assaulters.
“Ethnicity doesn’t matter;”
So who’s doing all the killing and violent crime in this country? Is it a) distributed evenly among ethnic groups, or b) concentrated in one group?
Poor kid. Prayers for him.
What kindergartener thinks of things like that???
Brave little boy.
Where were the adults?
Sticks and stones to the point of breaking his arm? Sawdust rubbed in his eyes? Where does this kind of hatred come from in six year olds? I’d like to know more about the parents.
You are right. No consequences, no behavioral changes.
These kids need help...and dare I suggest a father, a father with brains. I may be totally off base, however.
He was not attacked by bullies. He was attacked by feral animals in vaguely human form.
Every neighborhood needs a godfather!
>>When did we replace the word “wrong” with “not acceptable”?
When absolute morals were replaced with situational ethics by the Humanists who drive social theory.

I love our nation!!
This will go on till they kill someone. If it is before it they 18, they will do it again after they leave juvie.
The parents are probably hoping that someone will take and put them away.these monsters are a threat to the parents too I’m betting.
At least 100 miles away from any of the bullies and their family.
My kid has been in tae kwon do since age 5. She is now 16 and a double black belt Very powerful! Lord help the one who goads her into a response because they’d instantly regret it!
From a very young age we decided she would never be a victim and would have the tools necessary to protect herself. She also shoots like a champ !
Hey, Parents:
Fair trade - 90 days in jail from a plea compared to minor-thug spending 2 weeks in the hospital.
In today’s society kids must be given the skills and tools to defend and extract themselves from dangerous situations with a high probability of success. Congratulations, you’ve done your duty as a parent! I hope your daughter will be able to get her CCW soon. There is nothing like a gun for the ultimate in self-defense.
The parents are liable.
Take all their current and future assets in a winning judgement
What they need is a session with a belt. But the the root cause is likely no father. So perhaps the mother should lose custody and the baby daddy punished.
No doubt we are not being told part of this story.
Its the MSM, so definitely something is missing
