Last Wednesday four girls and a boy surrounded Randi after a Fellowship of Christian Students meeting, "talking about me like I was a man, and like, stuff like that," Randi says, who was teased for enjoying sports. "That I shouldn't be in this world. And my name was a boy name." The kids then proceeded to kick her in the legs and ribs, hit her face, and throw her into a cafeteria table. Randi's mother Meggan Foster says closed-circuit security cameras caught the whole thing on tape, but the principal won't turn over the footage because it involves other students. And while disciplinary action will be taken "to the fullest extent of the law," the principal assures. But that sounds like an empty promise: the police were not involved and no report was filed, which means "fullest extent" equals suspension or expulsion.
