Caught On Camera


A Mississippi mom has been suspicious for some time that her daughter, 13-year-old Destiny Hughes, was being bullied and abused in school by a fellow classmate. Her suspicion turned into reality when a cellphone video was uploaded, showing the 13-year-old student being brutally punched repeatedly by her peers inside Water Valley High School.

Hughes was left with bruises after the attack. Rhonda Hughes, Destiny’s mother had this to say about the incident, "It makes you outraged and makes you sick to your stomach to watch the videos. You know, the school has a policy against bullying and violence, but if they're not going to enforce it, it's not worth the paper it's printed on."
Water Valley High’s superintendent, Kim Chrestman, refused to show the school’s footage of the beating, in order to protect the identity of the other student involved in the matter.   
Mrs. Hughes says she will be homeschooling both her children from now on, in fear that her children might be unsafe in the current school system.
