Mother demands justice after 14-year-old brutally jumped at a Maryland high school
Juanita Caldwell says her 14-year-old daughter was jumped and beaten by a group of students at Potomac High School in Oxon Hill.

A mother is demanding justice after her teen daughter was attacked on her way to cheerleading practice last week at her Maryland high school.
Teen attacked at a Maryland high school
Juanita Caldwell says her 14-year-old daughter was jumped and beaten by a group of students at Potomac High School in Oxon Hill.
“My daughter had a knot on the left side of her face,” Caldwell told NBC Washington News4. “On the right side, her eye and nose were, like, collectively swollen together. Maybe, like, just smooshed in together. It was blood all over her face; blood all over her jacket.”
Some of the attack was captured on cellphones by students who watched.
According to the report, Potomac High School security responded and dispersed the students.
But Caldwell said her daughter was jumped again near a utility room afterward, sustaining injuries that required her to be taken to a hospital.
She said it’s been made worse after hearing that the students involved remain at the school.
Mother demands justice
Caldwell wants justice for her daughter. First, getting the students who “viciously” attacked her child expelled.
PGCPS officials confirmed in a statement that a student was injured at Potomac High last week and an investigation is underway.
Caldwell said while her daughter loves her classes, she’s afraid to go back to school.
Friends and family of the 14-year-old girl are planning a show of support for her at the school Monday morning, News4 reports.
Caldwell said she has been contacted by the Prince George’s County State’s Attorney’s Office but does not know if the students involved will face any criminal charges.
