A California mother was left hospitalized for two days after she was horrifically beaten by two of her teenage daughter’s bullies in front of their high school.
Maria Guadalupe Jimenez and her husband arrived at James Logan High School on Tuesday with their 16-year-old daughter to talk to the principal about how she was being bullied by a group of girls.
They said the vicious bullying against their daughter started a year ago where she was taunted in the halls and online.
Before they could enter the building, they were met by a group of girls outside the school who launched their harrowing attack.

In the attack two teenage girls hit Jimenez in the head, leaving her with a black eye, broken nose, and bruises to her face
‘The girl was very furious, they grabbed by the hair and dragged me,’ Jimenez said on the attack
‘They want to hit my daughter but I covered her a lot that they didn’t, they couldn’t get there so they grabbed my wife,’ Eder Rojas said to KRON4.
‘They started screaming at us, “What you wanna do? Who’s going to fight first,”‘ he added.
Jimenez was assaulted by two teenage girls, at least one of whom attended James Logan High, and ended up being severely beaten, left with a black eye, broken nose, and bloody face.
‘She has the bones broken right here, she has the eyes all red a bump here,’ Rojas said motioning over his face. ‘I feel really angry, sad at the same time.’
‘The girl was very furious, they grabbed by the hair and dragged me,’ Jimenez said to KGO ABC7 in Spanish. ‘I just wanted to go inside and talk to the principal, you’d never imagine a kid would hit an adult, I thought we were safe on campus.’
Rojas had to pull the teen off his daughter who was also hit in the scuffle.
As a result Jimenez, who gave birth to a baby girl just four months ago, was hospitalized for two days.
Union City police responded to the scene and arrested one juvenile who was charged with battery with serious bodily injury.

The school district said two Logan High School students, a student’s family member and someone not from the school were involved in the bloody altercation.
‘We are investigating and following up on this incident working directly with the Union City Police Department, and taking disciplinary actions. We believe this incident to be between the two Logan students and does not appear to involve any other Logan students,’ the school said in an e-mail to parents.
Now Jimenez’ family says they intend to hire a lawyer and will move their daughter to a new high school.

A GoFundMe page has been set up to help Jimenez with her medical expenses.
‘After leaving my friend unconscious they continued to kick her in the face and head. She has three nose fractures and suspicions of a bruise on her head. This all happened in the presence of school security that did nothing,’ the page says.
‘My friend is a mother to three daughters and she’s recuperating from a cesarean. Lets help her and over everything may the bullying stop,’ a statement on the GoFundMe page added.
