Well, I found out my daughter got spat on by 2 guys while waiting for the bus home.

I wish I could do more for her beyond just remind her we love her.

Sorry to hear that.

It's possible that may be all you can do. Unfortunately, it's easy to think up a variety of immediate responses after the fact, when it's too late.

Did she know the boys? Was it a one-time shot? One might be able to let a one-time shot pass. But if it's repeated several times, take action with school authorities.

The Worst Outcome

The worst outcome is if it's treated as a terrorist attack or aggravated assault, and they wind up punishing someone who had nothing to do with it.

And check the area. If she was near a bank or store, or even some homes, they might have video that shows the bus stop. My own home has exterior video cameras that have been used several times by the police to identify someone.

Given the Covid situation

You should check with the police... that might be equivalent to assault.

Happiness is being all dressed up and HAVING some place to go.

Seconded

That would definitely be a much more serious charge people have been charged with terroristic threats for similar things.

Charges.

If possible press charges against the perps, that is assault.

More serious

There will probably be more serious charges available because of Covid.

FFS!

What is wrong with people? Any idea if there was a motive or just random scumbags? And yes, given Covid there are probably some serious charges available.

Some (*bleep*) are actually doing this sort of stuff because of covid, spit, lick, breath, etc. on people or things people touch. Not sure what is wrong with some people. :(

Some

Some people think that thumping someone on the head is funny.

In "Au Revoir les Enfants", a new kid entered a boarding school, and the boy next to him at dinner took his "vitamin cookie" (?) and licked it all over before giving it back.
