A 16-year-old girl was brutally attacked by a group of other teenage girls on a bus in Beit Shemesh on Sunday, after she placed her bag on an empty seat. The attack left the girl with a head injury and bleeding. Topaz, the mother of the attacked girl, told Ynet that the other girls wanted to sit on the seat where her daughter had placed her bag. "My daughter's bag was on the seat next to her. It wasn't enough to bother them; my daughter was just about to move the bag, and the woman who attacked her started speaking to her rudely and with curses, and came to touch her things," Topaz recounted. Other girls then joined the assault, which the mother described as "a lynching, no less."
Topaz shared that her daughter is currently experiencing pain and has not yet fully processed the incident. She is afraid to return to the bus. "We are shocked and stunned by this whole event. Unfortunately, this can happen anywhere," Topaz stated, addressing other parents. "It's important for me to tell parents to stop being afraid of their children. We need to educate them, not the other way around. The desire to be friends with children cannot be above our need to educate. This is the result of parents who are afraid to educate their children, parents who want to be friends before they are parents."
The mother and daughter have filed a complaint with the police, and an investigation has been opened.
