Harrow: So, there’s this really awful story from London. Four teens have been locked up for a brutal attack on a transgender girl at a roller disco. It’s just heartbreaking.
The victim, just 18, has been left with some serious scars and still has trouble sleeping after what happened last February. She only survived because some good folks nearby rushed to help her.
These teens tricked her into thinking she was going to a party at the roller disco. But instead, they turned on her, punching, kicking, and stabbing her nine times while hurling nasty slurs. It’s just sickening.
Summer Betts-Ramsey, the one who did the stabbing, got eight-and-a-half years in youth detention. The others, all 18, got three years each. There was also a 17-year-old involved, but he’s not named for legal reasons and got a rehabilitation order.
They all admitted to causing grievous bodily harm, and Betts-Ramsey also pleaded guilty to having a knife. It’s a tough situation, and it’s hard to believe such things happen.
