School officials said no other students were involved in the injuries. However, neither those claims nor photos of the girl’s swollen face sparked an investigation at Arlington Elementary School because “there’s no indication something criminal took place,” Lt. Jim Roe of Pascagoula Police told the Gulf Live. “I have spoken with school security and an assistant superintendent is investigating the matter,” Roe said. That investigation resulted in a statement from the Pascagoula School District that AvaLynn was injured while playing on the playground, but “no other children were involved in the incident,” the statement read. In a Facebook page, “Justice for AvaLynn,” Harris details what her young daughter said about the Aug. 26 incident on her playground. “She was kicked repeatedly in the face until she fell off of the slide on the school’s playground,” Harris wrote. The school is unable to confirm a beatdown because no teachers witnessed the alleged incident to prove “whether or not another student had harmed Ava,” Harris added. Even though the attack has not been confirmed by the school nor police, Harris is asking for help with AvaLynn’s medical costs on GoFundMe and has collected more than $6,000 in donations.
