    Three older girls were beating on the victim and her daughter in the girl’s bathroom.

    What happened with the daughter?

      For clarity, the article directly quotes other articles without giving proper context for who's who, in the quote, which makes some pieces confusing. It says Nex "and her daughter", but that's because the speaker is the mother of the best friend, who was also present.

      So the "daughter" was Nex's friend. I presume she's not seriously injured. But the fact that this resulted in another child's death decidedly overshadows how the other victims of the beating came out of the experience, in the reporting.

        I agree. Sad shit all around. Are there any updates on charges? Expulsions? Any punishment at al?

          Not that I'm aware of, but it's an ongoing investigation, involving children, which means information isn't readily being put out there in the way it would be if it was a crime not involving children.

          But also there's so little reporting on this story in general, that it's hard to say. No one seems to give much of a shit.
