Mother speaks out after video shows fight at London school
Riley says both children were struck multiple times and her son was diagnosed with a concussion as police and the school board investigate.
- On Sept. 24, London, Ont., resident Samantha Riley shared video showing her 11-year-old daughter and nine-year-old son being attacked at C.C. Carrothers Public School, with her son diagnosed with a minor concussion.
- Riley alleges her children experienced ongoing bullying for the past three years, prompting repeated transfer requests the Thames Valley District School Board denied based on their home address.
- Describing the incident as a "vicious and vile attack," Riley said "it feels like the teachers just stood there and did nothing about it." School officials suspended all involved students for one day.
- The London Police Service began investigating the altercation on Sept. 24, confirming "all individuals involved are youths," while the school board stated there is "no place for violence" inside its classrooms.
- Data from the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation shows reported school violence across Ontario surged 77% between 2018 and 2025, prompting Riley to seek enrollment in the Catholic school system.
