A 10-year-old girl is shown on camera being beaten by a USPS mail carrier outside of an elementary school.

According to the officer’s report, the girl’s head struck a nearby tree after the mother pushed her to the ground and called her a disparaging name.

Despite identifying several possible offenses, such as assault, child endangerment, delinquency of a minor, and criminal conduct on school property, the officer did not make an arrest.

And the USPS employee’s name was concealed because no formal charges were filed, according to Cleveland 19 News.

The case was forwarded to the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office, which exclusively deals with felonies, even though the officer had submitted it to the Cleveland municipal prosecutor.

In response, Assistant County Prosecutor Debora Brewer wrote on November 14, 2024.

That the case did not qualify for felony prosecution and that CMSD officers should forward it to the city prosecutor for possible minor charges.
