 10 year-old girl arrested for assault and battery on a 22 year old.
Girl, 10, arrested in attack - Local & Regional - BostonHerald.com Quote:
Boston police arrested a 10-year-old girl yesterday and charged her with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon - her shod foot - after she and friends were accused of brutally attacking a customer at the South Bay Target department store in Dorchester after the victim bumped her.
Witnesses told police the gang of girls knocked the 22-year-old victim to the floor “where she was being hit, her hair was being ripped out, and her pants were taken off,” by her attackers, said BPD spokesman Officer Eddy Chrispin.
But witnesses told police the 10-year-old was allegedly particularly brutal. They told police the child kicked the woman repeatedly in the head and stomach as the victim’s clothes were being ripped off and she was punched in the face by the other girls, police said. wtf? 
She was the only child arrested at the scene. Chrispin refused to reveal the ages of the three others involved in the assault because they were not arrested, but a source said a second 10-year-old was involved along with two teens. Boston police will seek criminal complaints against them from a court clerk. The name of the girl arrested was not released because she is a juvenile.
The fight broke out in an aisle just before 4 p.m. at the department store after the victim “bumped into the youngest girl and refused to apologize,” Chrispin said. The injured victim was treated at an area hospital and told police “she was jumped for no reason.”
Police and politicians are increasingly concerned about the startling violence among young girls. Last year, the Herald reported that Mayor Thomas M. Menino created a task force to deal with girl gangs after many young females were involved in a rash of knife attacks.
In 2006, at least three teenage girls were maimed for life after they were attacked by female rivals and viciously slashed across the face.
In March 2006, an 8-year-old boy was stomped by a group of girls in Dorchester in an attack that left him unconscious with four broken ribs. Weeks later, his older sister, 16-year-old Shelly Herring, was stabbed in the stomach while defending her brother.
Herring’s wound required a seven-hour surgery to repair her torn bladder, leaving her with 27-staples stitching her stomach together.
The violence has also led to the Boston Foundation, which raises money to fight crime, to earmark $100,000 for programs targeted specifically at young women.
