NBC Washington reported a 10-year-old boy was taken into custody while the principal and vice principal of Gale-Bailey Elementary in Marbury have been reassigned to other schools.

Parents raised concerns about the school’s response to an incident that happened on the playground of the school.

Parents told NBC Washington three fourth-grade girls said a group of boys attacked and sexually assaulted them on the playground on Oct. 29.

One of the girls’ parents, Seneka Hart Butler, told NBC Washington that her daughter also received threats when she returned to school.

“One of the friends of the boy in the incident came up to her and was like, ‘I know you told your mom and dad what happened, you got my friends in trouble and I’m gonna beat you and I’m gonna have your family killed,” Hart Butler said.

That threat is also being investigated by law enforcement.

Our team was out conducting a sign blitz today to remove illegally placed signs in our roadways and medians. We will continue the sign blitz tomorrow, so residents who see a sign in a public roadway that needs to be removed should contact CountyClick311.

— Angela Alsobrooks (@CEXAlsobrooks)

The cleanup started Monday and continues Tuesday.

The goal is to remove 5,000 illegal signs along its roads and medians.

The initiative is part of County Executive Angela Alsobrooks’ “beautification initiative,” which includes cracking down on illegal dumping and improving the collection of bulk trash.

Residents in Prince George’s have for decades complained about litter in the county. Alsobrooks and her predecessors have tried a variety of strategies to address the problem, including using technology to track litter and planting trees and flowers.
