HILLVIEW, GA — A group of four teenagers were taken into custody and charged with assault and kidnapping following a violent incident at Hillview High School earlier this week.
According to school officials, the victim, a 16-year-old male student, was targeted after allegedly being called “too white” by peers during a hallway confrontation. The situation escalated when the teens reportedly forced him into a car, drove him to a nearby location, and physically assaulted him, including pistol-whipping and beating him.
The victim sustained minor to moderate injuries and was treated at a local hospital. Authorities say he is expected to make a full recovery.
Hillview Police Chief Mark Reynolds stated, “This type of behavior is completely unacceptable. Our community will not tolerate targeted violence or bullying based on perceived racial identity or appearance.”
All four suspects, aged 15–17, have been placed in juvenile detention and are facing multiple charges, including kidnapping, aggravated assault, and battery. School administrators have implemented additional security measures and are providing counseling services to students affected by the incident.
Parents and students expressed shock over the attack. “It’s terrifying that something like this could happen at school,” said one concerned parent. “We need to make sure students feel safe walking the halls.”
The case has prompted a broader conversation about school bullying, peer pressure, and racial tensions in the community. Police are urging anyone with information about the incident to come forward as the investigation continues.
