11-year-old girl charged with a hate crime after police say she beat up a 10-year-old
At such a young age, she likely has picked up this hatred from family and/or friends. However, as a juvenile, counseling and reconciliation seems like the way forward. To beat another child up until they have a black eye is horrible, but I believe it is never too late for children.
An 11-year-old white girl is charged with a hate crime after a 10-year-old African-American girl was subjected to "racially motivated language" and a black eye, police said Monday.
Three girls were involved in the assault on a school bus in Gouverneur, New York, about 100 miles north of Syracuse, CNN affiliate WWNY reported. Two of the girls are white, and the victim is African-American, police said.
The victim's parents reported the incident to police on September 10. They said their daughter had a black eye, some of her hair had been pulled out and her knee was bruised after falling into the school bus seat, Gouverneur police said.
