A 12-year-old Kansas boy is facing a felony charge after he allegedly used a racial slur and hit an 11-year-old Black girl with a pipe.
Last Friday, the girl, Nevaeh Thomas, was playing with her friends at an apartment complex in Shawnee when the boy walked up and used a racial slur toward her, according to news reports. After Thomas told the boy “my Black is beautiful,” he hit her with a metal pipe.

The blow caused Thomas to lose consciousness and she was left with several injuries. A GoFundMe campaign created by her mother, Brandi Stewart, showed several pictures of the girl’s battered face.
“She suffered from a concussion. She has stitches inside and outside of her cheek. She lost her tooth,” Stewart said during an interview on August 31.
The boy was charged with aggravated battery and is under house arrest. He was not identified due to his age. He is white, according to KHSB.
