7 high school football players assault Black teammate—steal his bike & wallet. "They tried to dump him in the toilet," mom said. "Stuff him in a locker" "And pull his pants down." She went to see coach—was shocked practice going on as normal. Other students appear to be white in the video footage—but further information has not yet been released because they are minors. "He's been beaten, battered, kidnapped, assaulted, sexually assaulted, false imprisonment, robbed," mom continued. "While everybody's in the locker room staring around with their cameras, laughing and chanting." She says coaching staff brushed it off—even after some players and another parent told them what happened. That's when she called the police. Now the 7 players, ages 14–16, have been charged with second-degree assault by a juvenile. The principal also emailed families to say that the JV program is suspended pending an internal investigation. Incident occurred in the boys’ locker room at Howard High School in Ellicott City, Maryland. Posting first full length and credited video here to help raise awareness.
