Police are investigating assault claims levied by a black sixth grader who said several white classmates, all male, held her down and forcefully cut her dreadlocks.
Officials at Immanuel Christian School, where the vice president's wife, Karen Pence, teaches art part time, told ABC News on Thursday that they're working with police"to conduct a thorough investigation." She said she tried to avoid telling her family because she feared retaliation, but she finally opened up about the experience on Wednesday.
Now, her family is calling for the boys to be expelled. They said they had a meeting with school officials Thursday morning, but they didn't feel like the school took them seriously.
