Brutal beatdowns are becoming all too common on school campuses across the Houston metro area, leading to suspensions, and in some cases criminal charges.
MANVEL, Texas — Hinton's daughter Madison Lofton, and her niece Emori Everette, were attacked after a track practice at"What happened to us shouldn’t happen to other people," said Lofton, a sophomore at Manvel High School.
"I saw her rush my cousin, and my point of view is I’ve never seen you before, I don’t know who you are and now you’re trying to attack my cousin so I have to defend my cousin," explained Lofton. "If these children were there for practice and then you have trespassers coming onto the campus and assaulting children, then that's a problem," said community activist Dr. Candice Matthews.
On February 27, 2024, following an after-school track practice at Manvel High School, an altercation occurred involving several current and former students. In response to the disturbance, two of our coaches intervened immediately to diffuse the situation and promptly notified the Police Department for assistance.
In Alvin ISD, we take the safety and well-being of our students seriously, and we condemn any form of violence or disruption, whether on or off-campus. While Alvin ISD Police Officers are routinely present during athletic events, it's important to note that this incident occurred after practice rather than a game, and our officers were patrolling in a different area of the property at the time.
