Apparently, without saying a word, the four people pounced on the elderly man to beat him up.
“My husband was attacked only for reasons of a bathroom and several people fell on him and left him unconscious like that, they left him on the floor, and like that on the floor they continued to beat him, I was very scared because I thought they had killed him,” the dismayed woman told Noticias Telemundo.
The incident occurred on June 19 and since that day they have been trying to find those responsible. of this fact that has dismayed the population of Broward. So far there have been no arrests by the authorities.
More cases of intolerance against the Latino population in Florida
Damn Hispanic!” Paula Corva heard before falling to the floor. In the blink of an eye, the 15-year-old Colombian had the leg of one of her schoolmates around her neck, two other African-American women participated in the beating.
One pinned him from the trunk down, while the other beat her all over her body with fists and kicks. The violent scene was experienced in the dining room of the Countryside High School, located in Clearwater, Florida, last March 10. The other students only managed to take out their cell phones and record. The young woman understood at that moment the nightmare that being a victim of bullying represents.
She is charismatic and her Latin beauty stands out in the corridors of the institution. She quickly gained friends. She sees classes with young people from 15 to 17 years old and, for example, in the English class she met the group of Afro-descendants who attacked her, they are in the last grades. SEMANA repeatedly tried to contact school spokespersons, but no answers were found.
Paula’s case is not the first, before the pandemic started, Nicholas Valderrama, 11 years old, was brutally beaten by 21 Afro children in Florida, who insulted him for being white and the son of a Colombian, Beatriz Moncayo, who 20 years ago came to that country. This type of aggression is not a matter of child’s play. The traumas that are generated are, on many occasions, indelible.
The psychiatrist assures that it is necessary to correct the aggressors, but more importantly, it is to provide them with attention to determine what problems they may be facing in their home or social environment and stop a snowball.
There are often cases of children who, due to bullying, decide to take their own lives, such as the dramatic story of Drayke Hardman, the 12-year-old boy who made this decision after suffering ‘bullying’ for a year by a fellow student in Utah, United States.
