COLUMBIA, MO. -- A 10-year-old Columbia girl claims she was sexually abused and bullied on her school playground.
Her mother says school administrators aren’t doing enough to prevent bullies from hurting other children.
About 2 months ago, 6 boys allegedly bullied Michaela Prince’s daughter and her friend on Columbia’s Blue Ridge Elementary School playground.
After interviewing school staff members and all of the children involved, school administrators decided to punish the 6 boys by taking away their recess for 2 days.
Columbia Public School Administrators said their investigation determined the existence of bullying in this incident was inconclusive.
Michaela Prince said her daughter continues to be harassed on a daily basis at Blue Ridge Elementary School.
