Teen to be charged with making false report
The 13 year old girl who claimed that she was beaten and threatened with rape apparently exaggerated the story after teachers downplayed her initial complaint about being racially intimidated because of a sign calling for an end to illegal immigration.
According to reports, Melanie Bowers was confronted by at least three pupils, who took her sign, which was part of a school project. She complained to a teacher about the incident and was then sent back to her class.
After making allegations to her parents that she had been physically assaulted, officials reviewed surveillance tape which showed Melanie scratching herself and behaving calmly.

Also, Melanie is being overcharged in an attempt to downplay the serious theft and racial intimidation she suffered and to send a message to European Americans who responded to the story with outrage.
