Lawsuit: 'Severe' rope burn on black 6th-grader's neck
result of bullying by white students in Texas

A 12-year-old black student came home from a Central Texas field trip with a rope burn so severe it appeared her neck had been "ripped open and stitched back together," according to a Travis County lawsuit that alleges three white students caused the injury.
Sandy Rougely and Kevin Parker, parents of the girl, are seeking $3 million in damages in the lawsuit filed Monday against Live Oak Classical School in Waco and Lawrence Germer, who owns a ranch in Blanco County.
If real, it is outrageous and the parents of the little thugs should be the ones being held liable unless of course the school was trying to hide what happened.
Those are horrific pictures. How could the chaperones not take her for medical care? smh

I blame the SCHOOL here for NOT coming down HARD on those thugs. It goes without saying those hoodlums need to pay the price, especially the ringleader.
That's horrible. I, too, wonder how this happened with chaperones who were supposed to be watching the kids. The bruises don't look like anything that could be done in a moment or two.

Did you read the article? Allow me: No, you didn't.
This was a rope-swing at a camp, and there's no proof that it was anything other than an accident. Though I love how the family is pushing the "this was a lynching" scenario, which is the conclusion they're eager to jump to because, gee whiz, we sent our kid to a predominantly white school so that's what must have happened. The negligence is on the part of the staff or adult chaperones who didn't secure proper treatment for the girl's injury.
But, if course, it's always so much better for the armchair generals to feel rather than think.
