Whoa. She is something else, your daughter! I got punched in the eye in 5th grade by a big 6th grade girl. I think the school handled it better that your child's did, but the principal punished both me and the eye-puncher for 'fighting.' My sister got beat up by a bunch of girls. We never got abused by white people, glad to say, but it was a really convoluted and troubling experience for us. Fortunately my sister and I ended up just fine. And the girl who hit me eventually ended up in juvie for drugs. I don't know what happened to her since. We lived in a rough part of town. But I hope she got herself straightened out.
