USPS mail carrier in uniform Caught on Camera Allegedly beating 10-year-old girl outside of elementary school

A United States Postal Service worker was caught on camera in full uniform beating a 10-year-old girl outside of an Ohio elementary school.

The brawl happened on Sept. 23, 2024, at Ben Franklin Elementary School on Spring Road in Cleveland, right after students were released from class.

An officer with the Cleveland Metropolitan School District Police Department took to the call.

According to his report, the 10-year-old girl told him that while walking to the bus, another girl attacked her with a book bag.

She said that’s when the girl’s mother, a U.S. postal worker, also got involved.

The report states the postal worker “jumped into the fight and called her a ‘B-word’ and pushed her to the ground causing (her) to hit her head on the tree.”

The USPS worker has not been charged, so her name isn’t being publicly released.

However, in the officer’s report, he noted several offenses that he believes the postal worker should be charged with — including criminal activity on school property, delinquency of a child, assault and endangering a child.

The officer also stated in the report that he referred those charges to the city of Cleveland’s Prosecutor’s Office.

But reporters found that the Cleveland Metropolitan School District Police Department mistakenly sent this case to the county prosecutor’s office instead.

On Nov. 14, 2024, Debora Brewer with the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office sent a letter to CMSD declining to prosecute since their office only handles felony cases.

In the letter, Brewer wrote, “The offenses in this matter do not rise to the level of a felony. We are returning this investigation to your agency and advise that you refer this matter to the City Prosecutor to review for misdemeanor charges.”

However, that didn’t happen.

Meanwhile, reporters obtained the video and police report regarding the incident.

When asked why, after several months, they haven’t submitted those charges to the city for prosecution, a spokesman from the city prosecutor’s office said:

“We didn’t receive any information involving this case from CMSD until they forwarded some reports over on April 17th – nearly 7 months after the incident occurred.

It’s important to note that these reports were only sent to us because we asked CMSD about the case after you had initially reached out to us on April 16.”

The city prosecutor’s office says CMSD wants to pursue charges, but they’re still waiting to meet with CMSD police to discuss the case.
