South Carolina Foster Child Attacked By Deputy In School

Welcome to the world of foster care.

Deputy Ben Fields has damaged property of the state of South Carolina in the form of child abuse in the second degree.

The Sheriff Department claims the student needs to apologize and blame the parents and her community.


The girl is an orphan who has been placed as a ward of the state in foster care; therefore, the Sheriff was correct.  The state needs to be blamed with the way they have been raising its children.

Foster children, no matter what state, quickly learn how to defend themselves from people like Ben Fields everyday and if the public does not believe in the horrors of child welfare, then you need to ask yourself why I have been proselytizing for the promulgation on the way society views children.

My questions now arise to be presented as to why there was no IEP on record for the child being in foster care or for emotional issues on file with this so-called school officer.

When a child is at school and/or foster care, the responsibility to protect and serve falls upon the state as de facto parents.  

South Carolina failed to protect the student.

What the nation has witnessed is an everyday occurrence of the trauma of what goes on in child welfare which includes schools and foster care,.

If it was not for the videos of the other students, this would never have made national media, the Deputy would still have his job and I would not possess the vision for the change in how we treat our most precious treasures, children.


Niya Kenny stood up for the victim and was then put in handcuffs. Because she is 18 years old she was sent to Alvin S. Glen Detention Center. She says she was crying her eyes out and said she had to stand up for the victim. She also says the victim had a gash on her forehead. Niya was charged with disturbing school. SHARE. We will have more tonight at 6 & 11pm. Spring Valley High School (South Carolina) Richland County Sheriff's Department Check out video from Tony Robinson below....he is the student who recorded the video that went viral. He tells you the victim BEGGED for FORGIVENESS about her phone. See Below.

I await charges from the State Attorney General if not the FBI.

Life is even harder now for the South Carolina teen assaulted by ex-Deputy Ben Fields — she's in foster care

EDS NOTE: STUDENT WHO SHOT THE VIDEO WISHES TO REMAIN UNIDENTIFIED. BEST QUALITY AVAILABLE, IMAGES MADE FROM VIDEO, AP PROVIDES ACCESS TO THIS HANDOUT PHOTO TO BE USED SOLELY TO ILLUSTRATE NEWS REPORTING OR COMMENTARY ON THE FACTS OR EVENTS DEPICTED IN THILife, for many of us, is hard.

Life for a 16-year-old black girl in the New South living in a foster home is no crystal stair.
In an interview with the Daily News, Todd Rutherford, the respected Columbia, S.C., attorney representing the assault victim of the recently terminated Deputy Ben Fields, revealed that his client, in addition to suffering injuries on her face, neck, and arm, is a recent orphan living in foster care.

Deputy Ben Fields was fired after video surfaced showing him flipping a South Carolina high school student backward in her desk and tossing her across the floor.

While her identity, no doubt, will eventually be leaked to the media, it's the goal of her foster mother to protect and care for her as well as she can considering the circumstances. She communicated to us that the young victim is devastated and emotionally traumatized by all that has happened to her.

BEST QUALITY AVAILABLE, IMAGES MADE FROM VIDEO, AP PROVIDES ACCESS TO THIS HANDOUT PHOTO TO BE USED SOLELY TO ILLUSTRATE NEWS REPORTING OR COMMENTARY ON THE FACTS OR EVENTS DEPICTED IN THISchool, as you can imagine, could be particularly tough for a young girl who has experienced so much pain and loss in her young life. To think that she has now suffered police brutality and is facing trumped up criminal charges for age-appropriate classroom behavior is just despicable.

South Carolina sheriff’s deputy Ben Fields has been fired

Some trauma cannot be undone. The experience of police brutality is an example of such trauma.
Our kids, who already face enormous pressure in life, should never be subjected to state-sponsored violence while in school. For this young girl, Spring Valley High School should've been a refuge.

Instead, it was something far worse.
