A 13-year-old girl identified only by her initials E.W. is recovering from a vicious assault at a Yonkers pre-K-12 Montessori school by five adults who allegedly mistook her for someone else.
The incident, which reportedly occurred before classes began, has sparked outrage and a planned lawsuit against the city.
According to reports, E.W. was approached by another student on the school’s baseball field. A fight ensued, and soon after, at least five adults believed to be relatives of the other student, including a grandparent, attacked E.W. The young girl described feeling terrified and alone as the adults surrounded her.
The incident highlights a disturbing trend of adult involvement in student altercations. E.W.’s family is seeking $40 million in damages from the city, claiming a lack of security measures allowed the assault to occur. The attack has also gone viral on social media, drawing condemnation from the community.
While details remain scarce, authorities are likely investigating the adults involved. This case raises serious questions about school safety and the responsibility of parents and guardians to resolve conflicts peacefully.
