Seven students — some as young as 5 — hit with battery charges for alleged school bus beatdown on 7-year-old classmate
“They know better than to start jumping on a child and striking that child with a hand or a first or a book or those types of things.”

The alleged attackers, who range in age from 5 to 14, were slapped with battery charges for the vicious beatdown that erupted while their bus was en route to Mattie Lively Elementary School in Statesboro on April 18, the Bulloch County Sheriff’s Office announced Wednesday.
