The New York Times: Black NoVa Girl Says White Private School Classmates Cut Her Dreadlocks

[Anonymous]

I suspect the police, school and any of the boys families have already screen-shot Mikea Turners Twitter feed over the last week by now.

No way anyone would hire her after her fanning this gossip non stop each day.

Really??

Yes really, those little boys were just being white.

From page 1, you were saying?

Even when CNN video van came over to tape her dressed up aunt, grandmother, grandfather and her? Indeed, what are you thinking.?.

I'm thinking that she's a child and at that point was way over her head and completely caught up in what she started. Shame on her family for exploiting the situation that way and shame on CNN for putting a 12 year old on camera. I'm not saying what she did was right by any means, but she's also not a mature adult. She's just a kid.

I am not as forgiving of this child. She lied. Flat out lied. And, as a result, made national news. Instead of fessing up, she went on national TV and cried about being a victim.
Incidents like these divide our country even more. And, she needs to understand that.
I hope she is punished by her grandparents. She is old enough to be held accountable.

The main people to be held accountable here are all adults: parents, grandparents, "journalists."

No, no. You don't get to sit here and still sympathize with her. SHE is the bully and the 3 boys are not the victims. This made national news. The family jumped the gun going to the media right away instead of letting the school handle it and do a sit down with everyone. They wanted their 5 minutes of fame shaming the VP's wife's school. Shame on them. Expel her and be done with this.

SHE is a child.

I'm not defending the choices her family made.

No one was saying that when they thought the boys did something. It was all about expelling them without a second thought

Examples of how to go on twitter and see someone’s public feed? Or how to do a screenshot on a PC or iMac?

Yes, she is. She should get in trouble, through her school and her family. But it should be a private matter. She only made national news because of her family's actions, and those of the media. Her name and picture should never have been out there. I hope she gets to talk to a therapist.

Now all the super woke people don’t know what to do with themselves. Must be hard.

No because they did not do it. Whole thing is sad.

I agree with you. 100%
And, to those people who are saying, "but she is a child."
Hmmm -- have to wonder if you are the same people who were speaking negatively about the 3 white boys she accused.
This post comes to mind..... "Those boys are monsters and deserve to be sent to juvenile detention."

I just saw this and agree. She made a mistake and it is bad but she has issues clearly and needs help. Little kids lie and do dumb things. This should have been better more before all of it got out in the media.

No. Unfortunately now she can not be believed about anything.

Nope just super frustrated. This undermines everyone's efforts to find justice and fairness and inclusivity, etc.
