Trans child assaulted and filmed

‘Smart and curious’ trans child savagely beaten by a gang of teenagers who posted the ‘horrific’ assault to Snapchat. Police in Saskatchewan, Canada, are investigating after a trans child became the victim of a “horrific” assault by a group of her peers. 

The child, from Moose Jaw, was filmed by her attackers and the video was posted on Snapchat. Moose Jaw Pride executive director Taylor Carlson became aware of the assault after seeing the video circulating on social media. They told Regina Leader-Post: “I have no doubt that LGBTQ2 people and families living in Moose Jaw, and very likely in other smaller and rural communities in Saskatchewan and beyond who are made aware of this, will be feeling insecure and unsafe in their communities.

“It really hits home for a lot of people.” 

Carlson got in touch with the teenager and her family after seeing the video, and said she was attacked by a group of children her age. They added: “It’s quite devastating. It’s a devastating and horrific thing to have happen to you, and of course also to have happen to the LGBTQ2 community.”

The police service also wrote on Twitter that charges were “pending”, and that the girl luckily did not “sustain serious physical injuries”.
