A 14-year-old shy white girl named Dakota, who suffers from autism, was brutally attacked by a group of five teenage girls at Altona Pier in Melbourne, Australia. The assault, which was filmed, resulted in Dakota being hospitalized with severe, non-life-threatening injuries. The attackers struck Dakota on the head more than 50 times while she was walking with a friend, and the violence only ceased when a passerby intervened. Despite the severity of the attack, no arrests have been made. Additionally, a fake GoFundMe page was set up in Dakota's name, prompting her mother to speak out against the scammers.
