Mob of 9th-graders accused of beating up, hospitalizing female assistant principal as she tried to break up fight: 'She loves those kids'

A mob of ninth-graders are accused of beating up a female assistant principal — "kicking her and pulling her hair," according to one teacher — as she tried to break up a fight Thursday at Westfield High School in Spring, Texas.

What are the details?

“It broke my heart. It makes me want to cry,” the teacher told KPRC-TV of the shocking beatdown. The teacher requested anonymity over fear of retaliation from the school district, the station said.

“Three or four other kids jumped in on her and just pummeled her to the ground, and they are kicking her and pulling her hair,” the teacher added to KPRC. “She loves those kids. She is the nicest person, and she’s the best administrator that we have at Westfield High School.”

The Daily Mail said the following video "appears to show the brutal beating" of the assistant principal. Shouts of "bitch" and "ho" can be heard amid the attack:

KPRC said the assistant principal was rushed to a hospital with "excruciating head pain that will need to be monitored." Her family said she was unable to talk after the attack and would need a CT scan. KHOU-TV reported that she's since been discharged.

What did the school district have to say?

Spring ISD released the following statement about the incident, KPRC said:

This morning, an altercation occurred between multiple students at Westfield High School 9th Grade Center, resulting in a precautionary hold. School administrators and police officers were able to intervene and stop the fighting quickly, and identify students involved for discipline. As a result of the incident, a staff member was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment. All students involved in the altercation will be subject to the full extent of disciplinary action available. We take these issues very seriously as the safety of our students and staff is our highest priority. There will be no tolerance for any altercations or disruptions to learning.

'We don't feel safe'

However, the teacher who spoke to KPRC said the school district's statement isn't true.

“When you call for help to the front office ... nobody ever shows up,” the teacher told the station, noting that the entire campus only has two officers. “We don’t feel safe. Faculty don’t feel safe. … If the parents knew how unsafe the inside of the school is, they would be upset.”
