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.

> Say the kid was white. Is “white trash” unwise words? <
Yes. In either case, it is not wise to unnecessarily escalate things.
But as we all know, it’s not a level playing field. If a black person says “white trash” (or “cracker”, etc.) and it will be excused away. It’s no big deal.
But if a white person uses the n-word, all hell breaks loose.
Was the brats parent available to be told? NO. No parent around, she took the parents role. Maybe told the kid in the exact words his momma would use too.
She was wrong to bully a child. You don’t call a child such an ugly name. I am rather taken aback that so many here don’t get that. If she had just yelled for the child to stop what he was doing that would be acceptable. It would be the same if she had called him any number of profane or nasty or racist or vulgar names.
SHE WAS IN THE WRONG FOR WHAT SHE CALLED THE CHILD. THEY ARE WRONG TO THINK IT RISES TO A LEVEL REQUIRING FINANCIAL COMPENSATION.
Negroes think they can determine what language whites can and cannot use. We need to end that. Go change all the rap music lyrics, then get back to me on what white people can say.
The big crime here is the sex offender videotaping at the children’s playground.
The smaller crime here is the black child trying to steal a toy from a white person.
The name calling? I don’t even care.
What is justice here.
Using a racist or profane or nasty or vulgar word against a child is wrong. If an adult wants to call another those names they do so at their own risk.
A sex offender being around children is certainly a criminal matter video-taping or no video-taping.
