CHICAGO — A rally was held Tuesday for an 11-year-old girl who was severely injured in an alleged hate crime attack in the city’s North Lawndale neighborhood.
Trinity Washington and her mother said she was attacked on Sept. 17 outside their home on the 1900 block of South Spaulding Avenue. Trinity said her neighbor’s sister was out, intoxicated, celebrating Mexican Independence Day.
“I didn’t know I’d experience this,” Trinity said.
Trinity was with her Yorkie puppy when she said the female called her a racial slur and stepped on the dog. The 11-year-old said the female hit her in the eye with a bottle and her neighbor punched her in the nose — breaking it.
The injuries were severe enough that emergency plastic surgery needed to be performed on Trinity’s face.
“All I wanted to do was be with my family and now I have to go through surgery to surgery to surgery,” she said.
Trinity’s mother, Wanda Porter, says her children don’t feel safe.
“She isn’t sleeping. My son isn’t sleeping. This is not okay,” Porter said.
The police response, supporters say, was also unacceptably long.
“Twenty-eight minutes? That’s extensive if somebody pulls a gun out on you. You’d be dead,” said Kiisha Smith, with the 10th police district elected counsel.
Smith is calling on the Chicago Police Department to arrest both women accused in this attack — and for the state’s attorney to upgrade charges against them.
Trinity’s family and the police council are also calling for charges against the neighbor’s boyfriend, who they add threatened Trinity‘s mom with a gun for speaking out about what happened.
“Trinity had a high spirit. Her spirit is broken,” Porter said. “My house hasn’t been the same since this happened. I have nothing left in my cup. I’m drained. I’m hurt. I’m sick. I want justice for her.”
Isn’t there a quote about judging a nation by how well it treats its children?
The Balkanization of America bearing its expected fruits. Diversity is our strength!
Are you referring to his warning about exceedingly poorly written articles? What a mess this story is
Mexican attacks black child. Interesting dilemma. But hitting an 11 year old little girl is low. The trash needs big jail time.
really, this is worse than something a 12 year old would write.
Indeed.
Very disturbing story and makes me angry that somebody would attack a child, BUTBthe flip side is this quote from the article:
“The police response, supporters say, was also unacceptably long.”
The people complaining my about police response time are the very same people that protested and demanded defunding of the police. Their demands have been met and now they must live with the consequences.
Can’t have it both ways, idiots.
13 paragraphs yet they never say what the hate crime was or the name of the person who committed the hate crime...I wonder why?? Oh- wait- this explains it: “Trinity said her neighbor’s sister was out, intoxicated, celebrating Mexican Independence Day.
I thought mexican independence day was May 5th, but after reading this story, I don’t know what’s what anymore.
May 5th celebrates defeating Napoleon’s troops.
Were those neighbors here illegally?
If she were shot on the south side as part of Saturday night activities, we wouldn’t hear anything about it.
What set the attackers off? Or they just don’t like a particular race, or children or Yorkies or any combination of those options? To hit a child is abnormal, unless extremely provoked or under the influence.
After looking up the story by using North Lawndale as part of the search, I’m surprised that anyone would allow a child outside of their home in that area without supervision.
She has probably been “ celebrating “ since May 5. .
….
Also, Mexico’s Independence Day is September 16 but the neighbor was celebrating the holiday on September 17.
The boyfriend that threatened the mom is black. The little girl got popped pretty good in the face.
I was actually impressed with the quotes by the 11-year girl.
“I didn’t know I’d experience this.”
“All I wanted to do was be with my family and now I have to go through surgery to surgery to surgery.”
This was “another” independence day - I was not aware of it either. Until my son called saying he was tied up in traffic in Chicago because of the cars parading and waving Mexican flags in the streets.
All of the exits off the freeway were blocked so nobody could exit to get into the city. A 20 minute drive took him almost 4 hours.
That was probably also the reason for the delay in getting help to the girl. Folks had videos of the grid lock because of all the Mexicans parading.

The racial component seems askew then. Apparently, Barbie, the 3 month old Yorkie, was in their way, and the victim didn’t move her out of the way or something to that effect. Barbie’s picture is at the link. How hard is to walk around something the size of baking potato?
