Mother Suing Miami HS After Her Daughter Was Beaten

MIAMI BEACH, FLA. (WSVN) - The mother of a South Florida teenager who was the victim of an attack at a Miami Beach middle school plans to file suit.

Arianna Uguccioni said her 13-year-old daughter is afraid to attend school and is doing virtual learning following the Tuesday attack.

“I cannot watch my daughter being beat up,” she said. “This child is unsuitable to be among other children at this time. She needs, for sure, to be removed and teached to understand the civil way to act with other people.”

The attack was captured on a cellphone’s camera at Nautilus Middle School. According to Uguccioni, the attacker is a classmate of her daughter’s.

The video shows the girl pulling the victim’s hair before repeatedly slapping and kicking her in the head.

“She was crying. She was crawling,” Uguccioni said. “The hurtful part is how she feels, that shame, because now every child in the school saw her get beat up and humiliation because this video initially went viral with all of the kids in the school.”

The attack lasted for around 20 seconds before the alleged bully steps away from the victim, who was left with injuries to her back and head.

“The next day, she sends a text that says Aurora is a snitch to be posted and to spread around the children in school,” Uguccioni said. “That’s called cyber bullying.”

Uguccioni added that the girl was suspended for 10 days, but said more needs to be done.
