Micah Parsons Slams Bullies Who Beat 9-Year-Old Girl in Viral Video

Bullying has been a big problem in the United States since time immemorial. With a video about bullying in Homestead, Florida going viral, Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons is speaking out.

The video showed two boys beating up a 9-year-old girl inside a school bus while other students can be seen trying to stop the attack. Parsons said the incident is "so sad" and asked "what is happening" to the youth now?

The video showed several kids arguing before one of them starts pummeling a young girl. A second student joined in on the attack and also started hitting the little girl.

Florida Mother Is Pressing Charges Against Bullies

Shortly after the video went viral, the mother of the 9-year-old girl who was attacked said she was pressing charges against the two boys who attacked her daughter, who is a third-grade student at Coconut Palm K-8 Academy in Homestead, Florida.

According to local South Florida ABC affiliate, Local 10 News, the Miami-Dade Fire Rescue responded to the incident shortly after at around 4:10 p.m. Wednesday. The fire department officials stated that they assessed two of the children inside the school bus for injuries before releasing them to their parents.

The mother said that the bus was overfilled with all ages inside. She also criticized the two adults on the bus, the driver and the bus aide, for just sitting in front and doing nothing.

The mother, who spoke with Local 10 News, stated that she is very upset and disappointed with what has happened, adding, "This violence has got to stop. It's starting from somewhere. Parents need to do more and pay more attention to their children that's causing these violent acts."

She revealed that her daughter has only attended the school since January, together with two other children.

The bullied girl's mother added that she has already complained to the school administration about the bullying that has been happening, as it affected her two eldest children. However, she says that the school administration, including the principal, assistant principal, and a counselor have done nothing about it. The principal even told her that they are overwhelmed and that they are advising her to withdraw her children from school.

She also said that her son also suffered incidences of bullying not just on the bus, but also in the cafeteria and at dismissal. She has since taken the matter to the school district, but they only advised her to speak with the principal.

Bully Who Attacked Girl on the School Bus Arrested

The mother also talked to CBS Miami and said that her son was also bullied and attacked in the incident. She then revealed that she has now pulled her children out of the school.

As for the two bullies, they were arrested shortly after the incident. The Miami-Dade County Public Schools released a statement regarding the viral video and it reads, "Miami-Dade Schools Police arrested the offender and they will be charged accordingly. Additionally, those involved will be disciplined according to the code of student conduct."
