Nevaeh now wears a scarf to cover several bald spots and her singed
hair. She was left with first-degree burns, but it could have been worse
according to Tanya Robinson, Nevaeh’s mother.
“The doctor told me her hairstyle saved her life,” Tanya recalled. “Had it been different, she might not be here.”
This isn’t the first time Nevaeh has experienced bullying. Two years ago, another student broke her thumb.
I’m walking into that school like
Hate crime. It should qualify as one.
Nevaeh is thirteen years old. This happened at Gompers School in the Philadelphia School District. The school district has not issued any comment, but y’all can make yours:
Samuel Gompers School
Address: 5701 Wynnefield Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19131
District: The School District of Philadelphia
Phone: (215) 581-5503
The School District of Philadelphia
Address:
440 N Broad St, Philadelphia, PA 19130
Phone: 215-400-4000
This happened October 25, 2018. This isn’t some random post that won’t die. It’s happening now. Call. Demand accountability and this be treated as a hate crime.
Not to downplay the psychological effect of bullying, but bullying is like…not letting someone sit with you at lunch, or saying their clothes are ugly.
Setting someone on fire isn’t bullying; it’s attempted murder.
