So a group of 5th or 6th graders ganged up an a pregnant woman and her son, pummeling her for no known reason. Chicago residents are sick of this behavior and are protesting outside their elementary school.
A community is outraged after an attack on a mother and her two children outside an elementary school in the South Deering neighborhood on the South Side of Chicago. Neighbors said it wasn't the first time the same group of kids attacked someone. Please note at the end of this article that the Chicago mayor mouths the usual platitudes about "mental health support" for the perpetrators. I'm done with all that. Enough. Give out harsh and immediate consequences. There is no other way.
A large group of parents gathered outside Orville Bright Elementary School on Tuesday, calling for accountability, after seeing the viral video of a mother walking her kids home from school Monday afternoon, when she was attacked by a group of kids.
That mother was in the school all day on Tuesday, talking with authorities.
Disturbing video footage of the attack showed children pummeling a mother and her son against a fence outside the school and dragging them to the ground.
Police said the 33-year-old woman and her 9-year-old son were walking near 106th and Bensley in the South Deering neighborhood when the group of kids started chasing after the mother and her children, calling them names and taunting them.......
"It is critical that we provide the necessary resources to our public education system so that every school community has counselors and mental health professionals. We must redouble our efforts to teach our young people that violence is never an acceptable response. Our students and families should always feel safe on their way to and from school and we must make the critical investments necessary to make that a reality in every part of our city. I'm grateful for the community residents who have rallied to support the family and I am calling for calm as we conduct a full investigation and ensure there is accountability for the attackers and healing for the victims."
