I'm not as super woke as others here, but I'm still a mom and I have sympathy for all of the KIDS involved here. They're all being used as puppets. The girl was wrong, but she deserved to be wrong in private just like any other kid her age. Yes, she lied and then kept up the act so so she wouldn't get in trouble but she wasn't the one calling CNN in the first place.

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.

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.

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."

+1.

She and her grandmother did multiple live interviews, I mean acting performances. not just with local WUSA and CNN.
Quite aggressive.

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.

So what? If the boys did do this to her, they would have been expelled even though they were children. This is a serious accusation that her family took to national news. The only outcome is taking away the financial aid and removing her from the school. Do you think it would be a positive if she stayed there?

Then nothing will change.

She comes from a home environment that causes her to commit heresy if she cuts her hair. And think nothing of making racist accusations against white peers.

She is not going to change. If the gift of private school didn’t do it, what will.

The girl flat out lied over and over again. She is old enough to figure out the hole was getting deep as soon as they set up a meeting with the school
The family had a meeting with the school and didn't like it and went to national news right away instead.
The girl continued to lie. Continued to pick 3 innocent kids and trash them and separate races once again.
The left loving media salivating for this story did not do any legit journalism and just went with it.

No family at that school wants that girl or her family there. They trashed the boys and the school. Good-bye.

Financial aid? Did it say in one of the news stories that she attended the school on a need based scholarship?

DP: Chances are high, given that parents were nowhere to be seen.

You are not trying to play the race card after what happened here, right?

I never believed this story, even Al Sharpton stayed away, so obliviously a hoax. White boys wouldn't know 'nappy' if it hit them upside the head.

Expel her.

You mean the interview video from last week? Sounds questionable, would not bank my journalist career on that. Nothing made sense, esp the part where 40+ kids and adults were also on the small playground while she was allegedly being attacked.

We have to give her credit for finally getting to the truth.

The true criminals here are the "adults" in the room. Those grandparents and those media outlets should pay heavy fines for malpractice and defamation.

The police in Northern Virginia are investigating a report by a black 12-year-old girl that three white boys in her grade held her down, covered her mouth and cut off lengths of her dreadlocks on a playground at their private Christian school.

The girl, Amari Allen, who is in sixth grade, and her family spoke to media organizations this week about what she said happened to her on Monday on the playground of the school, Immanuel Christian School in Springfield.

Expel those two NYT "reporters" and their "editors" and "factcheckers."

Excuse me? Because I don't assume a black child attending a private school MUST be on financial aid, that makes ME guilty of "playing the race card?"
