Parents vow to fight for justice as they speak out after video of their five-year-old son being called the N-word on a playground went viral

The family of the five-year-old boy who was subjected to racial slurs from a white woman during a viral altercation at a Minnesota playground are calling for her to be charged.

Video of the woman, identified as Shiloh Hendrix, was recorded at Soldiers Field Memorial Park showing the white tattooed woman holding her toddler while being confronted by a man who accuses her of calling a young black boy the 'N-word.'

When questioned, Hendrix does not deny the accusation and responds, 'If that's what he's gonna act like,' before repeating the slur toward the man filming and making an obscene gesture.

'So that gives you the right to call the child, five-years-old, a n*****, the 'N-word?' the man asks her incredulously before the two engage in a disturbing back-and-forth.

Following the incident, Hendrix initiated her own crowdfunding campaign that has garnered over $755,000 in donations.

The parents of the boy she directed the hateful slur at issued a statement that was delivered during at NAACP town hall on Wednesday, reported KIMT.

Walé Elegbede, president of the Rochester NAACP, read the statement for them, claiming they wish to remain anonymous due to safety concerns.

'We as the parents of the young boy, demand that those responsible for this tragic event, the unimaginable pain that has affected our beloved child, be held fully accountable. Our child deserves justice and we will not rest until it is served,' the parents said.

Oh now the parents of that "autistic" 5? year old act like they care about him!

Where where they that day when the kid was wondering around alone?

Where were they when some creepy guy from where was it? The Sudan, was watching their kid do stuff?

Where were they when their kid was stealing stuff from other people's bag?

Plus why was a 5? year old so hungry that he is stealing out of other mom's bags for food?

WHY IS CPS NOT INVESTIGATING THIS?

BTW for the record the one kid we see in that video does not look 5 he looks about 10.

Justice? For being called a name?

If that word offends them so much they wouldn’t call each other that very same word. The argument that white people can’t use it is racist.

Big deal. If that is the worst any of us has to put up with in life we will be very lucky. The way these parents are trying to monetize & exaggerate the incident makes it much worse for the child.
Sticks & Stones etc.

Buried deep in the article: “The confrontation reportedly began after Hendrix claimed the child took a toy from her son’s diaper bag.”

So it looks like there are no clean hands here. The 5-year-old stole something. His parents were not supervising him properly. And an upset Hendrix picked an unwise choice of words.

Best to just separate everyone and move on. But that can only happen in a country where there are no race baiters eager to escalate things.

These people listen and have been to clubs where that term is tossed around all night in all different contexts, probably by them too. The word doesnt bother them at all.

Its now just an excuse to get up in whiteys face.

I am so tired that a word causes them more trouble than their own people murdering whites because of their racial hatred.

So they are now at fault for some crass white trash wench being nasty to their five year old?

I do think “seeking justice” for what happened is going overboard. A simple “Don’t call my son that.” should have ended the encounter.

“fight for justice” actually means getting a $million court settlement of some kind.

Worry about the few incidences like this but ignore this:

In 2023, Black Americans accounted for a significant portion of homicide victims, with 9,284 Black murder victims reported in the U.S. The majority of these homicides were committed by individuals of the same race, reflecting broader trends in intra-racial crime.

And many of these deaths were probably young blacks. Where are the alleged “Civil Rights Leaders” tackling this problem?

The kid's parents probably call him that several times a day.

Ask him.

How is she a “crass white trash wench” when the 5 year old was in HER baby bag stealing her child’s food and stuff? She has the right to be angry and defend her baby.

The point was not that she used that word. The point is she used it against a child.
