"He licked the blade twice. He turned and said 'I'm going to chop you up into chili and make your friends eat it.' I was scared and I thought he was actually going to do it,” the girl said.
The girl reported the incident as soon as she got to school but was told to go back to class. "I thought he was gonna hurt me," she said. "I was so scared."
For the next four-and-a-half hours, the girl wasn’t sure what would happen next. "When I have break he's normally around where I hang out with my friend and I was scared that if I let it go he would really try to hurt me," she said.
According to Monroe School District officials, the boy was disarmed, removed from class and "emergency expelled" within minutes of the girl's report.
The girl’s parents say that she was never made aware that she was safe until much later in the day. "There was some serious emotional distress that needed to be addressed a long time before it was," said Casey Bailey, the girl's father. "The lack of support from the school was alarming to me."
