Officials with the Calvert County State’s Attorney’s Office said the harassment began in December and the students refused to stop despite repeated requests. The victim ultimately reported the behavior to Maryland State Police, which investigated and filed charges against the students.
The defendants, all 13, are students at Plum Point Middle School in Calvert County, which serves students in sixth through eighth grades and is located about 50 miles (80.5 kilometers) southeast of Washington, D.C. Their names are being withheld because they’re underage.
Officials said the charges will be forwarded to the Maryland Department of Juvenile Services for appropriate action.
Shit kids from shit parents. I’m Jewish and when I was in high school, a kid stole a book I was reading and drew a swastika on every page and gave it back to me. He didn’t get in any trouble. This is why hate crime laws are a good thing.
Parents are trash. 100% that’s where they learned that.
Not saying it’s OK what they did. I’m about fifty years old. When I was in middle school, kids did this and they definitely didn’t get it from their parents. Some kids are just as assholes that think they are funny. The kids need to be punished. They need to take classes on what these symbols mean and what nazis did. But I can’t just blame parents. Sometimes kids just do stupid shit.
Or parents failed to counter it when they learned it online.
Once you get out of the DC/Baltimore suburbs Maryland gets racist real fast.
Don’t know the truth of it, but there’s a particular old house in Germantown that was always whispered as “The old Klan house”. The story was that back in the day, it was owned by a high-ranking member. Was absolutely wild to think about when I was younger, just out of the sheer diversity I saw every day.
Wasn’t until I was older that I noticed how bad some places could really be. Kinda fucked me up for a minute, after growing up hearing how progressive the state was.

Truly awful behavior. Most certainly ruined their futures. Hope the victim is okay.
Without violence involved it should be a school matter in my opinion, I fail to see how it is in the public interest to proceed with these charges.
If the school does nothing, it’s very much in the public interest to prosecute.
Maybe because this kind of behavior often leads to violence? Possibly find the parents in jail for this shit.
Yeah, because putting the parents in jail will definitely ensure these kids turn out okay.
This was racial violence my dude.
What’s going on with MD?
