Officials with the Calvert County State’s Attorney’s Office said the harassment began in December and the students refused to stop despite repeated requests. The victim ultimately reported the behavior to Maryland State Police, which investigated and filed charges against the students.

The defendants, all 13, are students at Plum Point Middle School in Calvert County, which serves students in sixth through eighth grades and is located about 50 miles (80.5 kilometers) southeast of Washington, D.C. Their names are being withheld because they’re underage.

Officials said the charges will be forwarded to the Maryland Department of Juvenile Services for appropriate action.

    Don’t know the truth of it, but there’s a particular old house in Germantown that was always whispered as “The old Klan house”. The story was that back in the day, it was owned by a high-ranking member. Was absolutely wild to think about when I was younger, just out of the sheer diversity I saw every day.

    Wasn’t until I was older that I noticed how bad some places could really be. Kinda fucked me up for a minute, after growing up hearing how progressive the state was.
