A Texas junior high school student had his head stomped on by a vicious classmate and adults on the scene failed to intervene to help him – one of them didn’t put down his coffee
A junior high school student in was brutally beaten up by his fellow classmate as his teachers half-heartedly tried to stop it.
A viral video shows the one-sided incident ending with a head-stomp at Harwood Junior High in Bedford, Texas. The school confirmed what happened in a letter. The video shows the aggressor sitting on another student’s chest while he rains down fists on his head.
The panicking victim tries to get up but is quickly tackled back down onto the concrete. While looking at his fellow students for help, the boy continues to be beaten and his classmates make whooping noises and record on their phones. The boy suffered punches to his back, head and face.
Shockingly, the child’s teachers failed to stop the beating. The video shows two adult men – one of whom doesn’t even put down his thermos – slowly approach the students and half-heartedly pull off the attacker, but he isn’t retrained.
This meant when the aggressor stood up, he was free to stomp on the victim’s head – leaving him motionless and unconscious. No one goes up to help the victim for at least 20 seconds, with students instead gawking at the victim.
No adults were anywhere to be seen.
It is not known how badly injured the boy was or whether he required medical help. The principal of Harwood Junior High confirmed the fight was at the school and said they were investigating the incident.
In a letter to parents the principal said: “However, I want to emphasize that fighting is a severely inappropriate behavior, and this type of incident is completely unacceptable”, WFAA reported.
The letter continued: “The incident is being taken very seriously, including investigation of the complete sequence of events using video and interviews, surrounding context, actions of additional students and staff, and district processes related to student fights.”
Bedford Police Department investigated the incident and has referred it to the Tarrant County Juvenile Justice System, according to a Facebook statement.
