Mob of Teens Attack Elementary School Bus, Beat Children Inside

What is going on in Georgia? Goodness gracious!

In Dekalb County, just minutes up the road from my hometown, a mob of teenagers stormed an elementary school bus and beat the children inside so badly that one child was taken to the hospital.

According to school officials, there were numerous students attacked and one rushed to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta hospital.

Here's the kicker, parents weren't even notified of the assault until they were picking up their children. As a parent, I would be livid to not be informed on something so crucial!

Local News station WSBTV reports: 

“That is outrageous,” said parent Alexis Clarke.

The parents are speaking after learning children came under attack by four older students.

School officials said they climbed onto the bus when it made a stop this morning.

Monday afternoon, the school sent a voice mail message to parents that said in part: “During the morning ride to school, a group of middle and high school student boarded the bus to assault an elementary school student.”

School officials released a statement that read:

"The safety and well-being of our students is our top priority. On Nov. 18, an incident occurred on a school bus on Hollyhock Terrace involving  Snapfinger Elementary students. Two middle school students, one high school student, and an 18-year-old non-student attacked elementary students, which resulted in one elementary student being transported to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA)."

"DeKalb County School District Police responded immediately, investigated and obtained warrants for the high school student and the 18-year-old non-student.  Two middle schools students were arrested and taken to Juvenile Intake," they added.

Police arrested an 18-year-old non-student, a high school student and two middle school students on assault charges.

“This is my kid's second week at school. This is ridiculous. This is why I don't have my kids on the bus, I drive them to school. And I drive them back home,” said parent Latrice Lewis.

“I think that's really bad and, if they did beat up some elementary school students, they definitely deserve to go to jail,” Clarke said.

Sounds to me like parents need to start spanking their kids again. Perhaps then there wouldn't be a whole generation of entitled pricks running around.
