December 16th 2024.
Local residents of Oxon Hill, Maryland are coming together to support a 14-year-old Black girl who was brutally assaulted at her high school. The rally, scheduled for December 16th, aims to hold the perpetrators accountable for their actions.
According to the victim's mother, Kayla Caldwell was attacked by seven girls at Potomac High School on December 5th. A staff member at the school confirmed that the altercation had escalated from an earlier issue. Now, the protestors are demanding justice for Caldwell and are heading to the school to ensure that the students involved face consequences.
Footage of the alleged incident was obtained by WUSA9, which showed the young girl being punched repeatedly while she was on the floor of a school closet. As a result, Caldwell suffered multiple injuries, including a broken hand and nose. Shockingly, despite the video evidence, none of the girls involved have faced any consequences for their actions.
This lack of action has left Caldwell's mother, Juanita, and other supporters frustrated and outraged. In an interview with the news outlet, Juanita expressed her desire for the girls to be arrested, and if not, for their parents to be held accountable. She also shared that her daughter still suffers from nightmares as a result of the traumatic experience.
In addition to protesting against the school and the students, the community members also plan to call out the Prince George's County Police Department and the Attorney General's office for their inaction in charging the girls. Local activist Joseph Tolbert expressed his disappointment in the authorities, stating that it is unacceptable that no arrests have been made despite the clear video evidence.
Juanita also revealed that she had reached out to government officials, including Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, for help but has not received a response. Feeling like she has exhausted all other options, she now feels the need to make the matter public to get answers. She firmly believes that the authorities do not care about her daughter's well-being and only took action after the incident gained media attention.
While the rally aims to bring justice for Caldwell, her mother also plans to speak with Prince George's County State's Attorney Aisha Braveboy to discuss the next steps towards achieving justice for her daughter. This incident has also brought to light the issue of racism in the community, with the cancellation of a high school homecoming after white students were caught spewing racist remarks.
The rally not only serves to show that Caldwell's assault will not go unnoticed, but it also highlights the need for change and accountability in the education system and society as a whole. The community stands in solidarity with Kayla Caldwell and her family, and they will not stop until justice is served.
