ST. LOUIS COUNTY, MO - Police have arrested a 15-year-old girl in connection with the brutal assault of another teenage girl, who was left in critical condition and remains so at the time of this writing.
The young girl was found near Hazelwood East High School following a physical altercation that turned extremely violent. According to Vera Clay, a spokeswoman for St. Louis County Police Department, officers were notified of the fight that was already in progress just after 2:30 p.m. The fight happened near the intersection of Norgate and Claudine drives, which are located north of the school campus.
Upon responding to the scene, police said that they found one teen girl suffering from a severe head injury. She was immediately taken to a nearby hospital where she was listed in critical condition.
On Saturday, March 9, police arrested the suspect on assault charges. The video, which as circulated across social media platforms, shows a crowd of what appears to be teenagers gathered around a series of fights that broke out. In one of those fights, one woman can be seen shoving her opponent onto the pavement and hitting her. Following that, the teen disengaged and left her opponent visibly hurt on the pavement.
Libs of TikTok shared the video and wrote, "GRAPHIC: A student in @HazelwoodSD is in the hospital in critical condition after being brutally beaten with her head smashed against the pavement by a mob of students. Multiple people watch and do nothing. You won't hear about this story on the MSM."
Wesley Bell wrote, "This is sickening & so difficult to watch. In MO, by law our office @stlcopa has no jurisdiction. This is a Juvenile court matter, unless it is certified ... & by law, certification is not our decision either. We pray the victim makes a full recovery. This is just heartbreaking."
Victoria Sullivan, a former member of New Hampshire's House of Representatives wrote on X, "This literally made me cry. That poor girl seizing on the pavement. Who raises children that would do this with absolutely no remorse or restraint? The parents need to go to prison as well."
National Conservative wrote, "James Clark, a leader of the Urban League, responded to the savage mob attack that left a 15-year-old girl in critical condition in Hazelwood, MO. 'That's a glimplse into the mentality and the culture of our young people today.' -James Clark, Urban League."
Following the incident, Hazelwood School District said in a statement, "It is a tragedy anytime children are hurt. Bullying and fighting in the community is an issue for which we all need to take ownership and work towards a resolution for the sake of our children. The Hazelwood School District offers our sincerest condolences to everyone involved, and will offer additional emotional support from our support and crisis team to those in need.
"We look forward to continuing to partner with our community for the sake of our children. Please be kind and respectful of the families involved during this difficult time and pledge to help work toward the betterment of our entire community."

Something LE, and most other people paying attention have known for many years. They have a propensity for violent and lawless behavior. Statistics and court records don't lie. When any single or group of people are never held accountable for their actions, this is the result.
