Amari Allen claimed three white boys held her down and cut her “ugly, nappy” dreadlocks in a playground at a Virginia private Christian school last Monday.
A week later, she admitted to making up the story.
Her family apologized and asked for forgiveness.
The 12-year-old “straight A” student and violin player said that while telling her she “should not have been born,” one of the boys covered her mouth, another held her head, and the third took scissors and cut her locs. That was her claim. She said the incident occurred at the Immanuel Christian School in Springfield in Northern, Virginia where tuition is $12,000 a year.
