As a South Carolina community continues to mourn a 10-year-old girl who died following a reported scuffle with another girl, a state senator has apologized for her commentary surrounding the death of Raniya Wright.

Parents of the late Forest Hills Elementary School student are still searching for answers about what happened to their daughter on March 25. They were livid last week when South Carolina State Senator Margie Bright Matthews made alarming comments concerning the girl’s death. The statements were perceived as an attempt to defend local school officials and a substitute teacher who initially broke up the fight.

Police and school district officials have all repeatedly refused to provide much information to the grieving parents or the public, telling reporters that an autopsy and police investigation would take about two weeks to finish. But that did not stop Sen. Matthews from getting on a State Senate podium on April 2 and making a series of claims that Raniya’s parents quickly disputed.

Sen. Matthews attempted to dismiss claims from the girl’s parents that Raniya had frequently complained of bullying at school.

“I think it’s a case of a 10-year-old acting like a 10-year-old,” Matthews told the crowd, according to The Post and Courier. “I’ve heard a lot of people say, ‘Oh, they were kicking her. They ganged her.’ None of that. That’s so far from the truth — not even the banging of (her) head. The head was not even an issue.”
