Parents and students protested outside of a North Philadelphia school district Tuesday one week after a trans-identifying male student brutally beat a female student in the head during lunch.
Demonstrators are demanding a stronger response from North Penn School District after the incident that left many students at Pennbrook Middle School shaken.
"This was handled wrong from start to finish," one protestor told NBC Philadelphia. "Calling it a 'fight.' This wasn't a fight. This was an attack that could have been prevented."
Emily, a 13-year-old Pennbrook Middle School student, stood before her school board tearfully describing that she had pleaded with school administrators last Wednesday, hours before the violent incident, asking them to step in because she and another 12-year-old student were on a "hit list."
According to ReduxxMag, which shared Emily's testimony, the trans-identifying male student named "Melanie" had violent tendencies and school administrators had to solo-escort him into school every day and they were "warned repeatedly about the boy's violent tendencies, but appear to have never intervened."
The young girl testified that she spoke with guidance counselor Colleen Fattori five hours before the incident but to no avail.
