A Thurston County father says a video circulating on social media shows his daughter being attacked as she walked through Bush Middle School in Tumwater on April 29th.
Robert Orr says he pulled his 14-year-old daughter Jaymee out of Bush Middle School after the incident and has no intention of sending her back until more is done to protect her.Orr says a student provided the 30-second clip for him which shows Jaymee getting followed, and laughed at, until another girl pulls Jaymee's hair and repeatedly beats her head and neck."I took her to the emergency room, and they said she had symptoms of a mild concussion," said Orr.
"Even the ones holding the camera that were involved, that knew what they were going to be recording, should be held accountable for it as well," said Orr.Orr says he has filed a police report, has been in touch with the Tumwater School District, and a School Resource Officer was sent to his home to interview his daughter."I don't think no child, no person deserves to be beaten like that," said Orr.
