Missing teen victim of attack at Mashpee school, friends say

YES, WELL. And this girl, she's a first year here, at the high school behind us. YOU CAN SEE HIS PHOTO ON THE SIGN JUST OUTSIDE THE HIGH SCHOOL. SHE HAS BEEN MISSING SINCE SUNDAY. I just feel really sick to my stomach because I just want her to be found. THOSE WHO KNOW AALIYAH COTTON are handing out flyers hoping someone has seen her. WORRIED. AFRAID. ED. UM. I just want to get her home safe. ANDREA. LEONARD. IS A CLOSE FAMILY FRIEND. SHE SAYS AALIYAH WAS A VICTIM OF AN ATTACK AT HIS HIGH SCHOOL A LITTLE OVER A WEEK AGO. THE VIDEO OF THE ASSAULT WAS CIRCULATED ON SOCIAL MEDIA. There were a few hits and they pulled her into the bathroom and then forced her to lick the bathroom floor. POLICE DON'T IDENTIFY AALIYAH AS THE VICTIM OF THE ATTACK, BUT THEY ARE INVESTIGATING THE CRIME AS THEY'RE ALSO CIRCULATING THIS PHOTO OF THE 15-YEAR-OLD, WHICH THEY SAID WAS LAST SEEN ON SUNDAY NEAR CAPE DRIVE. It seems like she was just trying to fit in and just trying to make friends with everyone. LEAH HOLTZ IS A CLASSMATE WHO SAYS AALIYAH WAS NEW TO SCHOOL. NO STUDENT, NO PERSON SHOULD EVER BE NEEDED IN THIS WAY. SHE HAD STRUGGLED TO FIT IN AT SCHOOL, COMING BACK TO MASHPEE, MISSING POSTERS NOW Hung in Businesses Around Town as Friends Plead for Any Information That Could Help Bring AALIYAH Home. WE WANT TO HELP YOU. EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING YOU NEED. Please, darling, we love you. SO THE SEARCH CONTINUES TONIGHT. THE SCHOOL DISTRICT HERE DOES NOT COMMENT ON THE CASE.
