Seems like misery, who? And
what happened to this girl? This is the reason some parent would not allow
their children to go on school trips.
The authorities want to know how a 12-year-old girl ended up with a
severe rope burn around her neck during an overnight campout with her
sixth-grade classmates.
But the child and her
mother believe they already know. The girl is black and attends a mostly white
private school near a flourishing part of downtown. They believe she was the
victim of a racially motivated attack, the culmination of months of bullying by
her classmates.
The girl and her mother
said they believe some of the girl’s white classmates intentionally placed a
rope around her neck as the students played during the camping trip.
“It looked like somebody
had ripped her neck apart and stitched it back together,” the girl’s mother,
Sandy Rougely, said in an interview with The Dallas Morning News this week as
she sat next to her daughter in their Waco apartment.
Live Oak Classical School
said in a statement that the girl’s injuries were “caused accidentally” while
the students — eight girls and 14 boys — were playing with a rope swing
attached to a tree. The girl was one of two black students on the trip.The
school contends the girl’s lawyer is using race to take advantage of an
accident for financial gain.
a member of the board of
directors, Jeremy Counseller, emailed a statement to The News.
It said, in part, that “the
student and some of her classmates were playing with a swing and an attached
pull-rope on a field trip. The student received first aid treatment immediately
after the accident by a parent chaperone who is also a physician, and she was
able to enjoy the remainder of the field trip, which lasted through the next
day. Live Oak takes the safety of its students seriously and is saddened that
one of its family suffered an unfortunate accident and injury.”
The statement said the
girl’s attorney, Levi McCathern, who also represents the Dallas Cowboys, asked
the school to pay $2.7 million or he would make the allegations public.’
