BRAZORIA COUNTY, Texas – The Department of Family and Protective Services is investigating Alvin ISD after a 5-year-old girl said a boy who is also a student at her school, assaulted her in the bathroom.
The girl’s parent, who KPRC 2 is not identifying to protect the child’s identity, shared with KRPC 2′s Rilwan Balogun an Alvin ISD police report.

In the report, on February 6th as the girl went into a bathroom at Red Duke Elementary School in Manvel, a boy student followed her inside. Once in the bathroom, the report says he “crawled under the restroom stall and used a pair of scissors to stab” the child’s vaginal area.
The report states the boy was not allowed to return to school. But it’s not clear for how long.
The 5-year-old girl’s parent shared an email exchange with the Red Duke Principal, Emily Hall, Alvin ISD Superintendent Carol Nelson, and Lakeisha Holloway, the district director of student and administrative services. In the email, dated February 26th, Hall shared changes the district implemented following the alleged assault.
“We did make some adjustments to our schedules to ensure we have ample staff members on duty to support our smallest learners here on campus,” the email reads.
The email linked to a Google Document sharing Pre-Kindergarten Recess and Lunch guidelines such as when students should use restrooms “to limit the number of students using restrooms during lunch.”
The document said there would be 4 paraprofessionals on duty in the cafeteria during lunch “to ensure students are monitored.”
However, the mother of the injured student shared with Balogun her daughter was again assaulted two months later on April 25th. This is the specific incident the Department of Family Protection Services is investigating.
“I am emailing you with a very heavy heart, very disappointed, very confused and with no understanding,” reads an email from the parent to school leaders and shared with KPRC 2. “My child was once again assaulted at your school campus. We have been to the emergency room and her pediatrician have clarified that [her daughter] once again has another laceration on her vaginal area.”
KPRC 2 reached out to Alvin ISD for comment.
