NYC Teen STOMPS Girl’s Head After She Refused to Give Phone Number, Mother Claims ‘HE’ was Bullied!

Video of a gruesome afterschool incident is going viral for obvious reasons, with the suspect’s mother now weighing in.

And HER reaction is almost as bad as the initial incident!  (Not really. It’s REALLY bad.)

The attack was captured by cell phone footage in NYC between two teenage students right after school let out for the day.

I want to warn you up front — both videos I have included in this story blur out the worst moment of the attack, when his boot comes down on her head.

But it is still hard to watch, and hear.

Please make sure no little eyes or ears are in the vicinity if you press play on these clips.

Before we get into the details of this horrendous story, here’s the short clip that has gained the most attention online as shared by Rain Drops Media on X.com:

And here’s a longer clip shared on YouTube by the New York Post with a little better quality video and audio.

The narrator points out in the NY Post video report below that you can actually hear those watching laugh as he first body slams the girl to the concrete, and also as he mercilessly stomps her head into the pavement:

As a homeschooling parent, I have to say — scenes like this… covering stories like this… never make me regret our decision to homeschool our growing tribe of kids.

I know kids can be mean, but this isn’t “mean” in the classic proverbial sense.

This is VIOLENT and CRIMINAL.  And it’s scary, because we’re seeing it more and more.

And for increasingly nonexistent reasons, as well.

This attack was reportedly provoked primarily because the 15-year-old-girl refused to give up her PHONE NUMBER when pressed.

From what I can see, it’s amazing the girl isn’t dead!

In fact, it did result in very serious injuries that may never fully resolve, as reported by Fox News:

The incident began after the girl refused to give her attacker her phone number, the New York Post reported, citing unidentified sources.

Footage of the violent encounter shows a masked 14-year-old confronting a 15-year-old girl on an East Harlem street in Upper Manhattan around 3:30 p.m. Monday shortly after school let out.

As she makes her way onto the sidewalk, the masked teen grabs her from behind and lifts her into the air before slamming her onto the pavement.

The teen then stomped on her head as she lay on the ground in pain, before walking away.

The suspect, a 14-year-old boy, was arrested Wednesday and charged with assault, police said.

The attack caused a concussion, bleeding, a possible brain injury, splitting headaches and a twisted neck, injuries that will necessitate ongoing physical therapy, the mother said, according to the outlet.  (Emphasis added.)

And if that wasn’t bad enough… unbelievable enough… RIDICULOUS enough —

Just wait until you actually hear what the suspect’s MOTHER is saying about it all.

Her son was the victim of BULLYING from the teen girl (whose head he just crunched against the concrete)!

And the worst part of it is, his mother might be ‘RIGHT’ about some of what she’s saying; how do I know that the girl hasn’t been bullying her son leading up to that moment?

Please understand that I am not agreeing with the mother, nor presuming that what she is saying is true. (I’ll show you video in just a moment.)

But I want to point out that life is complicated.

Do girls ‘bully’ boys, in the classical way?  Verbally?  Sure.  Certainly.

And it COULD have been happening in the lead up to this incident.

Here’s the problem.  If so, all it does is muddy the water.  It gets people hyper fixated on what’s called a ‘straw man’ argument; a straw man fallacy.

It gets everyone fixated on arguing about NUANCE that DOESN’T MATTER in relation to the MAIN THING!

Did that young girl ‘BULLY’ that guy, prior to that attack?

Don’t know; DON’T CARE.

In terms of the ‘right versus wrong’ and the ‘guilty versus innocent’ scheme of things… it DOES NOT MATTER.

But that’s why there is an entire category of logical fallacies called the “straw man fallacy” — because it is often effective.

It muddies the water, takes the focus off of the MAIN thing, and attempts to make everything relative.

It tries to make everything EMOTIONALLY relative.

Even when it’s not.  Even when it’s cut and dried.

Here’s the first of two clips, the shorter of the two, which I want to share of the boy’s mother… defending her son’s actions.

This clip was also shared by the Rain Drops Media account on X.com along with the previous video I shared of the incident:

I’m sure you can easily pick out that straw man argument.

And did you catch the reporter’s question towards the end, while they’re following her across the street?

“So, where are the txts?”

In other words, if you’ll show us these bullying text messages, that will somehow lend weight to your defense; give gravity to your argument.

But, it doesn’t.  Not really.  Not logically.  But it seems to, which is why it’s an effectively dangerous logical fallacy to use on people.

Even the details of the incident which made the cut in various stories about the incident include aspects that would SEEM to support the mother’s argument, highlighted by example in this report from the New York Post:

The boy is seen repeatedly blocking her in the crosswalk and threatening to “knock the s–t out of” her as a friend appears to egg him on from behind the camera.

As she turned to walk away, she called him a “p—y” and told him to “get the f–k” away from her, before he grabbed her from behind, lifted her up and slammed her to the pavement.

The tense clips showed the girl lying helpless on the ground as the boy stomped on her head before walking off.

The twisted teen was charged with assault and appeared in the Youth Part of Manhattan court Thursday afternoon — but the judge barred The Post and other press from the courtroom.

The suspect was remanded into custody after the hearing. His mom, Selma Allen, claimed it was actually the victim who had bullied her son at school and described him as a “humble” Christian.

“She was being a bully to him, that’s it,” Allen told The Post after her son’s court appearance.

“He’s been complaining about her. I bring it to the principal’s attention but he don’t address it. The way my son is being bullied, he doesn’t want to go to school.”

Allen also denied her son was trying to score the girl’s number. She said they are friends who regularly swap messages on Instagram and WhatsApp.

She called the teen a “quiet” boy who “doesn’t provoke nobody,” claiming the victim shoved him just moments before the harrowing video started.

“It’s retaliation because she pushed him first,” Allen claimed, while failing to cough up additional footage she claimed she had of the victim pushing her son.

“He don’t provoke nobody. But if you provoke him, he will lash out.”

The school didn’t immediately return a request for comment. (Emphasis added.)

She called him WHAT?

And she pushed him first??? (No evidence of that, by the way.)

But all-in-all, it muddies the water.

It takes a violent attack, caught on video, and makes you feel like you should be questioning the morality of the attacker.

And that’s probably why the Bible tells us not to trust our own emotions and that the heart is “desperately wicked” — because if we’re not very careful, we can fall for that EMOTIONAL guilt trip.

Here’s the second clip I promised to share of the suspect’s mother, DEFENDING her son’s brutal attack:

The fact that anyone can justify stomping on a girl’s head while she lay vulnerable and essentially knocked out’ (just as the suspect promised), is incredible to me.

In that video you hear her blame the SCHOOL for being a “violent school”.

And then she tries to tie that up into a neat bow by claiming “bullying causes bullying”.

In other words, the problem isn’t her son’s violent attack.

The problem, according to Selma Allen, is that her “humble…Christian” son was provoked by the violence and bullying characteristic of the school.

So, it’s the SCHOOL’S fault!

Does it seem to you like it’s always someone else’s fault, and never the person who actually did the thing?

It’s almost as if what people are REALLY arguing about… is who to blame.

Rather than taking personal responsibility, and teaching our kids to do the same.

That’s a bad look, Mama Selma.

If “bullying causes bullying”, it probably stands to reason that VICTIMHOOD begets VICTIMHOOD.

Maybe it’s time to stop playing the blame game, and start taking responsibility.

That’s the only way our kids are ever going to learn to do anything different than this.
