A viral video is making the rounds online showing a young girl sucker-punching a young white kid in a charter school in Newark, Delaware.
The incident took place in Las Américas ASPIRA Academy (LAAA), a charter school located in Newark, DE, which is in a large suburb setting.
It is still unclear the cause of the altercation.
One user claimed, “There is a longer video that shows the boy getting in her face. He thought she stole from him. She says, he asked the crowd to hold his bottle and she took it as a physical threat. The boy was 13, the girl 15. It’s an old video. 2 years.”

In a statement to The Gateway Pundit, ASPIRA Academy said that the issue had occurred a long time ago and had since been addressed. When asked if the young girl received any repercussions, the school did not provide an answer.
“This is an old video of an incident that was addressed a long time ago. It does not represent the safe and caring learning environment maintained at our school building,” ASPIRA said in a statement.
“You can help us protect our students by reporting the tweet and not continuing to share the images as they are of un-consenting minors. Thank you.”
According to US News, the school’s minority student enrollment is 86%. The Hispanic/Latino population accounts for 68.5%, while Whites make up only 14.5%, and 13.9% Black or African American.
