10-Year-Old Girl Gets Hip Broken During Playground Assault

Ten year old Rikki Triana is in a Pennsylvania hospital with a broken hip. She had surgery on Friday and had to have three pins inserted into her right hip bone to keep them together. Police have placed two girls, ages 10 and 11, in a juvenile facility. Rikki Triana says she had taken her little sister to the playground last Tuesday. She explains that the two girls were splashing her younger sister with water. When she asked them to stop, they splashed her and then attacked her. they pulled her from the monkey bars and stomped her head and legs. Adults nearby noticed what was going on, and the two girls ran off.
Lisa Triana, Rikki's mother, arrived a short time later, just before. Rikki went into shock. doctors say that the attack will have long-term affects on the young girl as she grows. More surgeries and a hip replacement are very likely. Watch the report from CBS Affiliate WSEE's John Treanor.
