MOUNT PLEASANT, New York (AP) -- A counselor at a center for troubled teens was in critical condition Saturday after six girls allegedly burned and beat her and poured bleach on her face, police said. "She was just overwhelmed by the number of attackers," police Chief Louis Alagno said. The 32-year-old victim, whose name was not released, was the only adult in a 16-girl cottage at Pleasantville Cottage School when she was attacked Thursday night, Alagno said. The girls punched, kicked, stomped and scratched the counselor, then "doused her with rubbing alcohol and set it on fire," Alagno added. "They continued to beat her and then doused her face with chlorine bleach." Six girls, ages 15 and 16, were arrested and arraigned Friday on second-degree attempted murder charges. All six were ordered held without bail. The school is run by the Jewish Child Care Association and houses 195 children with behavioral problems.

Why were they only charged with second degree attempted murder charges?

The liberal media tries to throw you off by mentioning it was a Jewish center. The truth of it was the culprits were black savages.

I hate to hear about things like this because I do the same type of job with troubled teen boys. It can get a little sticky sometimes when you are there by yourself and have twelve unstable fifteen year olds in front of you that act first before they think. You have to stand your ground and not back down because if you do they take over. I have done this for thirteen years now without a complaint filed on me and very few minor incidents, unlike a lot of my coworker.

Perfect example of why you should have a CCW, and in school too. . Oh how things would have been looking up for this unfortunate woman.
