A mother and daughter are speaking out after they said the 13-year-old was attacked in a San Jose school and then discriminated against by administrators.
She decided to rush her to the hospital and that’s when they learned about the concussion and was advised to make a police report.
Del Carmen said she admits that as an immigrant, she was afraid. But as a mother, she realized it wasn't fair and decided to go back to school for answers. The mother said she was told that her daughter was never forced to apologize and that it was all a misunderstanding because Enriquez didn't understand English.
Both claim Enriquez understands the language perfectly and administrators used the family’s cultural background to cover up their mistakes. In a statement, Alpha Public Schools wrote in part, “In this instance, our policy and procedures to support students in a challenging moment were followed. This included quickly addressing the students involved, working with families to inform them of the incident and any pertinent follow up, as well as continuing to offer support, which includes access to our mental health counselors … We strive to create an environment that’s welcoming and inclusive of our families.
