Girl punched in alleged bullying attack

MANCHESTER, N.H. (FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston) - A 12-year-old girl was allegedly punched in the face during an alleged bullying attack.

A Manchester, N.H., mother says her daughter was the victim of extreme bullying at McLaughlin Middle School in Manchester. Her daughter, Morgan Graveline, is recovering after she said a boy at her school punched out her two front teeth.

The sixth-grader said she was attacked Tuesday in her school cafeteria by a boy who she said had been threatening her. The attack came two weeks after she was allegedly hit in the face by the boy's friend on the school bus.

The girl says she had just gone to her principal and guidance counselor to report threats from the boys. A bus driver reported the initial school bus attack, but the principal never made her aware.
And now, the girl's mother, Danielle Gauthier, is calling for the school's principal to be removed. Graveline is upset with what she calls a lack of proper school and police response and has posted an online blog about the alleged attack. Click here to read it.

Morgan is now forced to eat from a straw for at least the next month and the two front teeth she lost are now wired into her mouth.

Manchester's school superintendent, Dr. Tom Brennan, issued this statement:

"Violence will not be tolerated in our schools and there are consequences for those individuals who do not comply with the district's policies and/or the student code of conduct. I will be reviewing the circumstances of this incident to determine if any further administrative action is warranted. I wish this young person a speedy and complete recovery."
