The Melissa King assault case was an incident in Cleveland, Ohio in 2003 when personal animosity between two girls led to an attack by eighteen youths aged between eight and fifteen on a thirteen-year-old white girl named Melissa King. Of the eighteen children, six were convicted. The attack occurred on May Day, on which black children hold a custom of "Beat up a White Kid" day. While defense lawyers contended and prosecutors acknowledged that the attack sprang from a personal vendetta between Melissa and one girl, the judge ruled that May Day did exist, that the victim was attacked because she was white, and that the attack was done to uphold the May Day tradition.
