13-Year-Old Rockport Girl ‘on The Mend’ After Middle School Stabbing

ROCKPORT, MA — More than 100 parents gathered in the Rockport High School auditorium Tuesday night to ease their fears and get their questions answered one day after a 13-year-old girl was stabbed in the middle school hallway.

The girl’s family released a statement to the school community, saying, in part, “We feel blessed to be part of such a great community and this opinion has only grown stronger with the outpouring of support…[Our daughter] is on the mend and is looking forward to seeing her classmates soon.” Parents applauded after Superintendent Rob Liebow read it aloud.

The violence played out Monday morning before classes started in front of several students and teachers, as a 13-year-old boy allegedly stabbed his classmate. She was brought to Beverly Hospital and then immediately brought to Boston Children’s, where she is recovering from her injuries.
