“This boy, he hits me and stuff, and I don’t like it, so I told him to stop,” kindergartner Joeyanna Medley told WCCB-TV. “I was sitting down eating my snack, and then he pulled up my skirt and pulled it back down.”

Medley’s mother, Brittani Barnett, said her daughter told her that the boy hits her and pokes fun at her hair.

“Noticed some behavior changes in my baby girl lately and had a talk with her. She has been getting bullied They ridicule her for her hair, religion, etc.,” Barnett wrote on Facebook on Thursday. “However, yesterday got real… 2 little boys in her class tried to lift up her skirt. (I won’t disclose race but you can make an inference) I am not standing for any of this!!!”

Barnett was angered when she learned about her daughter’s various incidents with the young boy. She went to the school but felt the school administration was being evasive.

“Experiencing bullying myself when I was younger, and child molestation, this is not something that I’m going to stand for. It makes me very emotional, it makes me very upset that nobody is taking this serious,” Barnett told WCCB-TV.

She resorted to telling her story on social media and received an outpouring of support from the community and eventually received a message from the school’s principal.

“They were actually able to see me this morning thanks to TruBlue,” Barnett said.

Community advocate Will Adams and the TruBlue team escorted Joeyanna safely into her school.

“We absolutely, unequivocally have to get involved with our kids. When we speak of village, we’re speaking of everyone. … We all have to get involved with what’s going on with CMS,” Adams told WCCB-TV.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools released the following statement, addressing the situation.

“Eastover Elementary is aware of the incident. A Title IX investigation is underway. Administrators are also putting interventions in place in the classroom as well to keep the students separated and not seated at the same table in the Kindergarten class,” the statement read, according to WCCB-TV.
