Daughter's attacker still allowed in school
Regayla Woods choked back tears as she described how scared her daughter is to attend school following an alleged assault by another student that sent the 10th-grader to the emergency room Friday. "She's scared. She cries. She says, I don't want to go to school,'" Woods said about her daughter, Shakara Davis.
Children should not be afraid to go to school.
You would think they could at least put a stop to the verbal abuse while Woods is at school.Woods said her daughter heard Wimbley threatening her while she was leaving school in her car. At one point, while the car was stopped in a traffic jam, Wimbley allegedly opened the driver's side car door and used a brick to hit Davis on the head. The police report stated that Davis fell out of the car and was hit several more times with the brick. Davis was released from the hospital that evening with "cerebral contusions," according to the discharge papers. Woods said that after she found out Wimbley was allowed back in school, she was told by district officials that because the incident occurred once students were in their cars, off-campus and out of the range of the cameras, the district could not punish anyone. Since then, Davis has still been verbally bullied, even after repeated meetings with school officials who know about the situation, Woods said.
