Video obtained by a CBS News Miami reporter Thursday shows a female Hispanic student from Cutler Bay Middle School in Florida being brutally assaulted by two larger Black girls on a school bus.
To make matters even worse, the victim is a 15-year-old special needs child. CBS News Miami reported that the incident took place on February 3rd, which was on a Friday.
The video starts with the child desperately trying to fend off a large black girl before getting overpowered. The bus driver can be heard shouting “hey, hey, hey” but makes only a half-hearted attempt to stop the beating.
Roughly 13 seconds into the video, another girl arrives to join the assault. CBS News Miami later identified this girl as the large black girl’s older sister. She does not attend the school.
The pummeling continues for another 13 seconds before the bus driver finally screams for Tiana, the first name of one of the assailants, to “get off this damn bus.”
WATCH:
The child suffered a concussion as a result of the awful beating.
The victim’s mother has hired an attorney to sue the school for failing to protect her daughter.

“That should’ve not happened, my daughter should’ve been protected,” said Johanna Velez.
Velez said her daughter, who is a student with special needs at Cutler Bay Middle School, was attacked by two girls while riding the bus home last Friday.
Velez said a student on the bus attacked her daughter before that girl’s older sister, who doesn’t go to the school, hopped in and also started pummeling her.
“The bus driver left the bus door open, so another person came in, which was the sister of the little girl who goes to school with my daughter,” said Velez.
Adding insult to injury, it was the victim’s 15th birthday.

“I reached out on Saturday night to the principal of Cutler Bay Middle School and expressed what happened, and what I needed. I have not gotten a reply from him. So, I have not gotten no answers from nobody,” said Velez.
Now, Velez is taking matters into her own hands and hired an attorney.
“Enough with the deliberate indifference to student safety. You’re on notice, you’ve been on notice. We’re a week or less or right around a week since the awful Coconut Palm incident, and here we are with another bus assault. When will it end?” said attorney Joseph Montgomery.
Montgomery said he plans to serve the school with legal papers within the next few weeks.
Velez said her daughter is traumatized and will likely not return to Cutler Bay Middle School.
This violent attack comes shortly after another school bus assault in Homestead, Florida, which is just 10 miles from Cutler Bay, where teenage thugs viciously beat a nine-year-old girl. One of the teen students involved in the assault is now facing criminal battery charges:
Thanks for the recommendations you have provided here. Yet another thing I would like to mention is that laptop memory specifications generally go up along with other developments in the technologies. For instance, as soon as new generations of processors are brought to the market, there is certainly usually an equivalent increase in the size and style calls for of both the personal computer memory and also hard drive space. This is because the program operated by way of these cpus will inevitably surge in power to leverage the new know-how.
