March 22, 2025 Young Girl Charged with Hate Crime After Attacking Muslim Students In a disturbing incident at a local middle school, a 12-year-old girl has been charged with a hate crime for allegedly attacking two Muslim students. The incident occurred earlier this month at Michael Wallace Middle School, 3465 East Main Street, where the 12-year-old is accused of beating and ripping off the hijabs of two 13-year-old Muslim girls. According to authorities, an investigation determined that the altercation was "motivated by religion and/or ethnicity, meeting the legal definition of a hate crime." The 12-year-old girl has been charged with intimidation based on bigotry and bias. A second student involved has been referred to a youth diversionary program rather than facing arrest. "The students who instigated the incident will be properly disciplined by the school district and face appropriate consequences in the judicial system," said Waterbury Mayor Paul Pernerewski. The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) condemned the attack, stating that "schools must be safe spaces for all students, regardless of their religion or ethnicity." CAIR has called for mandatory anti-bullying training focused on racial and religious discrimination. Interim Superintendent Dr. Darren Schwartz acknowledged that while this was an "isolated incident," it represents an opportunity to "reaffirm our commitment to ensure our students are safe and respectful of one another." The investigation into the incident remains ongoing. School officials say they have taken disciplinary action and implemented enhanced safety measures in response. West Side Hill District
