Watching this video and seeing the hurt this small little girl was going through breaks my heart. The sad thing, it probably wasn't the first time. But I wonder what the headline would have been if race was reversed and how the MSM would have viewed it.

Quote:MANATEE:
As a nonverbal student in Manatee County, 5-year-old Anabelle Hunting could only scream as another student pulled her hair and slapped her face during a bus ride on April 19.

Her mother, Lauren Lardieri, said officials at Robert H. Prine Elementary School failed to notify her of the incident until April 30, more than a week later. Her family paid the district about $60 for a redacted copy of video taken by a camera on the bus. Lardieri provided a copy of the video to the Bradenton Herald on Thursday.

"I just feel like I have to be the voice for my daughter because she can't express herself the way she wants to," Lardieri said.

She said her daughter has developmental delays, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, epilepsy and mixed receptive-expressive language disorder.

Quote:The video shows other students throwing Hunting's plush dolphin toy around the bus as Martin walked up and down the aisle, searching for her lost phone. One student reached over her seat and pulled on Hunting's hair — the first sign of what would soon follow.

Hunting hit another student with her plush dolphin. "Hey, it wasn't me," the student responded. Hunting continued to scream and cry as the bus attendant walked back into the camera's view.

"OK, calm down," she said. "Where is my phone?"

As Hunting screamed at the top of her lungs, many of the other students followed, creating chaos as Martin demanded her phone. She then grabbed Hunting's backpack and searched it while the girl wiped her face with the dolphin toy.

Another student called Martin's phone to help with the search.

"You all finna see a real ugly side of me if I don't find my phone," Martin can be heard saying.

She continued up and down the aisle, her voice growing louder by the second, until the bus came to a stop. Students walked around the bus and climbed over seats as a group soon formed around Hunting.

The student who originally pulled Hunting's hair then turned around and appeared to hit the girl's face three times. The bus attendant eventually found her phone, and the girl hit Hunting one more time before the video ends.

If I said what I really want to say, I'll be banned.

I'll just leave it at that and be on my way.

This is likely a video I don’t need to see, don’t wanna see, don’t have any desire to see.

Kids can be the worst, most cruel animals out there. Seemingly only getting worse in this day of disjointed, anonymous bullying...

Why was she riding with those kids anyway. Isn’t this one of the reasons they are separated?
