An 8-year-old girl was scalped by bullies in an assault at a Georgia elementary school, according to her family. The girl’s grandmother, Dorris Bearden, said that bullies yanked the girl’s hair until a chunk of Aolani Dunbar’s scalp was torn completely off leaving a gaping wound. Doctors say the girl is unlikely to grow hair in that part of her scalp ever again and she may need skin grafts to repair the damage, according to Bearden. Bearden explained that her granddaughter became a target after she went to school wearing hair extensions. Dunbar wanted to have long hair like the other girls. “She steps in the door of that school and the first thing they do is attack her and start ripping her hair out,” Bearden said. According to the 8-year-old, “everybody” had the chance to pull on her hair. “They kept pulling it and pulling it, especially on the playground,” Dunbar said. “Everybody got a chance, and I was in the gazebo sitting there crying because I have no friends to play with that will protect me.” Bearden said she cried when she found out what had occured. “When I saw just the horror of it, I just started to cry,” Bearden said. “I cried as I unbraided her hair and the hair fell out in my hands.”
