Cleveland police are now investigating the incident as a possible hate crime after the 13-year-old black girl assailed the 10-year-old white girl for no apparent reason.
A neighbor who said she witnessed the attack told the station that the older girl used a racial slur as she pummeled the younger victim.
“Cracker. She called her a cracker,” said Jessica Jaworski.
The station reports that the camera was rolling well before the attack took place, suggesting the ambush might have been premeditated. source
Danielle’s parents told reporters that their daughter never said anything to provoke the beating and that they even tried to reach out to the other girl’s grandfather before calling police.
No arrests have been made.
