Vallejo, CA

Parents at Hogan Middle School in Vallejo are rightfully concerned for the safety of their children after recent incidents of violent bullying were caught on video and posted on the Internet.

Ladonna Williams was outraged after watching footage of her 11-year-old daughter being brutally beaten by another Hogan Middle School student. Other students watched and cheered the fight, which occurred on campus more than a month ago.

Williams’ sixth-grade daughter suffered bruises, a swollen eye, pulled-out hair and numerous scrapes – and she has yet to return to school.

Oakland, CA

An 18-year-old student was shot in the leg Wednesday as classes let out for the day at Oakland High School, police said.

The teen was rushed to a hospital, where he was listed in stable condition, said Oakland police spokeswoman Officer Johnna Watson.

The boy’s name was not released, and no one else was injured in the incident.

A group of students had gathered about 3:30 p.m. in the shade under some pine trees at Park and MacArthur boulevards after school when the gunman opened fire on the teen from about 20 feet away, police said. A merchant at a nearby store, who declined to give his name, said he saw the victim jumping up and down yelling, “I just got shot, I just got shot.”

School officials ordered students back to classrooms, and the school was temporarily put on lockdown.

Suspect Arrested for Child Abduction Tried Taking Home Other Kids Before

Milwaukee, WI

We’re learning more about the woman accused of abducting a child from a Milwaukee school.

The questions are swirling around Starms Early Childhood Center.  TODAY’S TMJ4 has identified the name of the suspect and TODAY’S TMJ4 is beginning to learn more about how she made her move.

As four-year-old Charity recovers from an abduction, her mom, Paula, is amazed at how this could have happened.

Witnesses saw 33-year-old Lisa Isaac walk into school and take her baby girl, while mom waited in an office just feet away.  “I waited for her a while and she never came, and the teacher came down and said that she had left with a lady with a curly wig, and said I told her to pick her up,” said Paula.

Milwaukee Public Schools Communications Director Roseanne St. Aubin told TODAY’S TMJ4 extra security staff has been added to the center.  She maintains Isaac snuck into school with daycare van drivers and snatched the girl.

“That little girl was passing close to that group of people, and the woman took her,” said Roseann St. Aubin.

Staffers at the Evans Academy of Excellence, a nearby daycare, told TODAY’S TMJ4 the woman came in twice, trying to take a child home.
