The mother of a Georgia middle school student stabbed 14 times in a campus fight with a girl who harassed her while she was walking to gym class says school administrators knew the attacker had a knife and had threatened students, but failed to take action.

The seventh grader’s mother has filed a $3 million lawsuit involving the fight at Ola Middle School in McDonough, south of Atlanta, on March 15. The fight left the girl with mental and physical scars on her face and body.

The lawsuit, which names the principal and three vice principals, said the attack, which started over a beef on social media with someone who wasn’t even involved in the fight, was preventable, and school police had informed school administrators that the attacker had a knife on campus and threatened students the day before and the day of the assault. The lawsuit said that administrators violated district policy by failing to investigate the weapon and bullying in an era when school safety is a serious problem.
