A first grader in a Harlem elementary school was tormented for weeks before being stabbed with a pencil. Deejah Goodwin was stabbed with a pencil in her arm at P.S. 194 and after alerting her teacher, was just sent to the school nurse to treat the wound with an icepack. This incident comes a month after the little first grader was punched in the face by a male classmate. To read more, click below.
Deejah Goodwin’s stabbing comes from another classmate, a girl who had been picking on her and calling her names such as the “b-word” and “f-word”.Shawanda Goodwin, Deejah’s mother, says she was not alerted about the incident and found out about her daughter’s wound after the first grader informed her. SMH. Mind you, these are first graders that are acting with such horrible behavior! Violence is not uncommon at P.S. 194. The Harlem elementary school on West 144 street is facing lawsuits from a 2012 assault, in which 3rd grade boys forced another male classmate to perform oral sex on them and a 2009 assault, in which a female classmate was assaulted by the ringer leader of the same group. SMFH! Maybe the city should send some inspectors to P.S. 194 and shut the school down! This kind of track record is just unacceptable!!!
