Charges have been filed against a child after a playground bullying incident was caught on cell-phone video.
A 12-year-old girl has been charged with a class D felony for assault on school property. The charge is in connection with an assault that allegedly took place at Hosea Elementary School and gained national attention after the video footage went viral on social media.
The video depicts a young girl repeatedly punching and kicking another girl, and dragging her by the hair some 30 feet or more across the asphalt pavement.
As we previously reported, the incident occurred on school grounds, but after school hours, on a Sunday.
We’re not posting the video because it involves minor-age children.
The first court setting will be held Friday, Oct. 16 in Division 3. The hearing will be closed because the defendant is a juvenile.
