A 5 year old girl who goes by the name AvaLynn was nearly disfigured when she
was allegedly attacked by another pupil at her Elementary school in Mississippi
this week. The most bizarre thing about this story is that the school is
maintaining that she was not attacked, rather she got the horrific injuries in
an accident while playing on the playground. Makes no sense. This looks more
like a vicious attack to me. Her mother and other relatives have opened a
Facebook page for the young girl to tell what happened to her and share photos
of her injuries, while seeking for justice. Below is what they wrote on the
Facebook page about the incident...
"On Tuesday, August 26, 2014, Lacey Harris was called go come pick up her daughter at Arlington Elementary School in Pascagoula, Mississippi, because AvaLynn had been injured in an accident. The sight Lacey found when she got to Ava's school was a parents' nightmare: her face swollen, cut, and bruised beyond recognition." Continue after the cut...
Lacey
rushed Ava to the family pediatrician, who burst into tears upon seeing the
Ava's battered visage. Fortunately, the doctor determined that it is unlikely
that Ava would have any permanent physical damage. Mental and emotional damage
is another story altogether. AvaLynn informed Lacey that she was
assaulted by another student: that she was kicked repeatedly in the face until
she fell off of the slide on the school's playground. The school informed Lacey
were no teachers present when the incident occurred, and because of that, no
one could prove whether or not another student had harmed Ava. After days of
Lacey, friends, and family members reaching out to local news stations and to
Facebook and other social media bodies, the school finally released a
statement: AvaLynn was injured as the result of an accident, one that involved
no other children. Although a police report was filed, Pascagoula Police
Department states that they are not investigating the situation. The school
basically claims that Ava injured herself, as all the photos depicting her
injuries will debunk. The local PD claims that there has been no criminal act,
which the injury photos also disprove. So now we've taken this to Facebook,
asking everyone out there to please share this page, to please share AvaLynn's
story. We need this to reach as many people as possible so that this little
girl will not go without justice. Please share this with your friends, your
relatives, and all your local news outlets. Please help us get the answers and
the justice that our little angel deserves.
The
Pascagoula School District issued the following statement about the incident:
"A student was injured while playing on the playground at Arlington Elementary School Tuesday afternoon. School officials responded to the situation. The parent was contacted and the student received medical treatment. No other children were involved in the incident. The Pascagoula School District remains committed to the safety of all its students."
The mother of the
girl, Lacey Harris (pictured above with AvaLynn), wrote on Friday night:
“As much as my heart is broken for my daughter, I am also amazed by the outpouring of love and support from our family, friends, Oasis church family and our community. Thank you so much for your concern, kind words, prayers, thoughts, shares, and donation. We ask that you continue these kind gestures.”
Its impossible for a kid to fall and receive such horrific injuries no matter what. This school should be
temporarily shut down pending investigation...
