Associated Press
A mother is demanding answers from South Dade Senior High School, where video shows her daughter being attacked by another student.
Lawanna Cooper told WSVN-Fox 7 her 17-year-old daughter was beaten by a classmate while other students watched on Feb. 9. The attack was caught on someone's cellphone video camera. The video shows other students laughing while they watched the beating.
Cooper says she asked officials at South Dade in Homestead about the attack and where school security was at the time. She said they didn't know.
A 16-year-old girl has been charged with felony battery and was suspended for 10 days.
The arrest report said the school's surveillance cameras also captured the beating.

People wonder why these Homestead High schools have "D" and "F" ratings, these kids are too busy fending off violent attacks rather than doing class work.
I hope that little girl is alright. Shame on that school for not being there when she needed them. What good is security if they are never around? My child will never go to any high school here other than CS-USA.
