Harker Heights family outraged over super glue poured in daughter's hair bullying incident

HARKER HEIGHTS — Harker Heights High School freshman Hannah Combs loved her hair, but after a bullying incident at school last week, she had to partially shave her head. Now, her parents are calling for justice.

Hannah, 15, arrived at school Sept. 14 and met up with her friends outside the front of the building. While she was talking to one of her friends, a boy came from behind and poured super glue on her head, getting it all over her hair and her scalp.

“It instantly started burning,” Hannah said. “It felt like my head was on fire. It was horrible.”

One of Hannah’s friends called her parents while Hannah went to the nurse’s office to get treated. There, an assistant principal questioned her, but Hannah could barely speak as she waited for the pain to go away.

1. Sounds like a charge of assault is in order.

2. Let's see... An assault with a chemical that made medical treatment necessary.

As the boy is also about 15, he should be old enough to read and understand the warnings on super-glue-containers. Accordingly, he is either mentally incompetent and thought this would be a harmless prank, or he intentionally assaulted the girl with the intention of harming her.

3. Absolutely

As a girl assaulted be boys in school as "pranks" that is the only way this will go, unless the girl is more popular than the boy in question. That was always a huge factor when I was in school many years ago.
