Her daughter suffered a concussion and a busted lip. Perhaps the most shocking detail is the fact that the other people involved in the fight were not Kempsville High School students.
“I was told that the other students must’ve let these students in and that’s how they got in,” the mother said.
Virginia Beach City Public Schools said that they are aware of the situation and that they are investigating.
