The footage shows the victim, Jillian Salgado, 14, battling to defend herself as she is pummelled and thrown around the classroom by two sisters, who are her classmates. The fight took place in front of one of their teacher, who watched them powerless.
Jillian Salgado’s best friend told NBC:
“They got angry and went ghetto on her.
“Every day there’s a fight. Today there was a fight in algebra.”
The two sisters attacked Jillian Salgado during a biology class at Roger C. Sullivan High School last Thursday and the fight has been recorded by another student on the mobile phone.
The student’s mother, Maria Salgado, says she didn’t realize how brutal the beating was until she saw the video.
“I am grateful for whoever recorded it because it did show the severity that no one realized.”
Marielle Sainvilus told NBC: “Chicago Public Schools does not tolerate violence among students in any way.
“The safety and security of our students is a top priority and we will take whatever actions are necessary to ensure that schools remain a safe environment for learning.”
