- 0:46Speaker 1: am so sorry that happened to you and your son.
- 0:49Speaker 1: I refused to watch the video because reading about the
- 0:52Speaker 1: story was enough to disturb my spirit. Okay, hearing the
- 0:56Speaker 1: news report was enough to disturb my spirit, and I
- 0:58Speaker 1: hate to disturb your spirits.
- 1:00Speaker 3: Well, let's go to Fox thirty two Pitter repol of Police.
- 1:02Speaker 1: Well, there is outrage in South daring tonight a mother
- 1:05Speaker 1: and child beaten on the way home from school.
- 1:07Speaker 4: The attack was caught on cell phone video and has
- 1:10Speaker 4: sparked demands for immediate action. Casey Kronas is live at
- 1:13Speaker 4: Chicago Police headquarters with the latest Casey, that's.
- 1:18Speaker 5: Right and community members, as you mentioned, they want answers now.
- 1:22Speaker 5: Mayor Brandon Johnson and other elected officials tonight are condemning
- 1:25Speaker 5: the attack as well, calling it deeply disturbing and we
- 1:29Speaker 5: need to warn you it is heartbreaking to watch this video.
- 1:33Speaker 5: It happened yesterday shortly after school dismissal, and we have
- 1:37Speaker 5: blurred and frozen the video before things escalate. Chicago police
- 1:41Speaker 5: are now investigating after a thirty three year old mother
- 1:44Speaker 5: named Courshanda and her nine year old son were viciously
- 1:48Speaker 5: attacked near one hundred and six Then Bensley. Her young daughter,
- 1:51Speaker 5: was also there. The terrifying incident unfolded just a couple
- 1:55Speaker 5: blocks away from Orville Bright Elementary School, where the boy
- 1:58Speaker 5: is a student, and that says they were walking home
- 2:01Speaker 5: when a group of kids began following them, then started
- 2:04Speaker 5: punching and kicking the mother and son.
- 2:09Speaker 1: I hate to hear people that helpless, Okay. I know
- 2:12Speaker 1: we say things like hate is a strong word, and
- 2:14Speaker 1: it is, and it's perfectly okay, to say, I hate
- 2:17Speaker 1: that kind of behavior. I hate people who display that
- 2:20Speaker 1: kind of behavior. I don't care if they are kids, Okay,
- 2:22Speaker 1: their news reports that children and teens, Okay, children and teens, kids,
- 2:27Speaker 1: whatever you want to call them. There's something you need
- 2:29Speaker 1: to learn early that a lot of people learn late.
- 2:31Speaker 1: And what you need to learn is there are consequences
- 2:34Speaker 1: to every action. I look at this situation and I
- 2:36Speaker 1: think to myself, Man, I don't care.
- 2:39Speaker 3: What happens to those kids.
- 2:41Speaker 1: But I know I'm lying to myself because I do
- 2:43Speaker 1: care what happens to those kids, because I understand the
- 2:45Speaker 1: environment that makes those kids become those little savages. Okay,
- 2:48Speaker 1: I know the socioeconomic conditions that created that. Not excusing
- 2:52Speaker 1: their behavior at all, because I want them to be
- 2:54Speaker 1: punished to the full extent of the law. What I
- 2:57Speaker 1: actually want to happen, or what wanted to happen, was
- 3:00Speaker 1: for some other adults to come through an intervene okay
- 3:03Speaker 1: while it was happening, and start beating they little ass
- 3:06Speaker 1: because if you want to act grown, you should get
- 3:08Speaker 1: treated grown.
- 3:09Speaker 3: In situations like this one, I'm all for that. Okay.
- 3:11Speaker 1: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
- 3:14Speaker 1: They needed their little heads busted. Okay, they needed their
- 3:17Speaker 1: young asses kick. You know, I am a huge mental
- 3:20Speaker 1: health advocate. Okay, I have a nonprofit called the Mental
- 3:22Speaker 1: Health Alliance, and we advocate for social emotional learning in schools.
- 3:26Speaker 3: These kids need it.
- 3:27Speaker 1: We really need to address youth mental health with social
- 3:30Speaker 1: and emotional learning in schools. But when I hear stories
- 3:32Speaker 1: like this, it lets me know we also need priests
- 3:35Speaker 1: to perform exorcisms on some of these kids.
- 3:38Speaker 3: Okay. I don't know the ages.
- 3:39Speaker 1: Of these kids, all right, but the ones that were
- 3:41Speaker 1: teens need to face severe consequences. And the ones that
- 3:44Speaker 1: weren't teens, I don't even know how you begin to
- 3:46Speaker 1: punish them, because what are they afraid of? If you
- 3:49Speaker 1: jumping a thirty three year old woman and her nine
- 3:51Speaker 1: year old son in broad daylight, what are you afraid of?
- 3:54Speaker 3: What are you afraid of? Losing? TikTok uh?
- 3:58Speaker 1: These types of kids aren't even a ready to die
- 4:00Speaker 1: because they clearly don't understand the value of life yet,
- 4:04Speaker 1: because if they valued their own lives, then they would
- 4:06Speaker 1: value the lives of others and they would never.
- 4:08Speaker 3: Do anything like this.
- 4:09Speaker 1: All right, Ice, you might be detaining and deporting the
- 4:11Speaker 1: wrong people. All right, this is the epitome of we
- 4:14Speaker 1: losing the recipes. There was a time when kids respected
- 4:18Speaker 1: the elders, and Kashanda, I know you're thirty three, but
- 4:20Speaker 1: you an elder to those kids.
- 4:22Speaker 3: And there was the time you didn't cut up in
- 4:23Speaker 3: front of the elders.
- 4:24Speaker 1: In fact, whatever BSU was on, you stopped when an
- 4:27Speaker 1: adult came around. You didn't fight in front of the
- 4:29Speaker 1: grown ups. But now these kids is jumping the grown
- 4:31Speaker 1: ups and what side is Kashanda said the situation stemmed
- 4:35Speaker 1: from bullying at Chicago's Orville Bright Elementary School. So imagine
- 4:40Speaker 1: comforting your nine year old, trying to protect them from bullying,
- 4:44Speaker 1: and these little punks ended up jumping on YouTube. Let's
- 4:46Speaker 1: listen to sister Kashana speak.
- 4:48Speaker 2: Please.
- 4:49Speaker 6: They found my son, hit my son first all his faith.
- 4:54Speaker 6: Then they dragged me in the grass and pulled my
- 4:57Speaker 6: blood baby hair. I'm trying to f justice for my son.
- 5:01Speaker 6: I'm thankful for everybody that came out here.
- 5:08Speaker 1: Man, I love us, but I love me more. And
- 5:11Speaker 1: you can't use youth as an excuse to not hurt
- 5:13Speaker 1: one of these kids. And if Kashanda would have had
- 5:15Speaker 1: a pistol on her and let a shot fly. Y'all
- 5:17Speaker 1: be crucifying her right now for shooting a child when
- 5:20Speaker 1: the reality is all she was trying to do is
- 5:22Speaker 1: protect herself in her nine year olds. Okay, let me
- 5:24Speaker 1: tell you why in something, and let me tell you
- 5:26Speaker 1: why in his parents something. Y'all better get these kids
- 5:29Speaker 1: h the recipes. Okay, you better monitor what they're watching
- 5:32Speaker 1: on YouTube and what they're taking in on social media
- 5:34Speaker 1: because Satan is not playing with the minds of our children.
- 5:37Speaker 1: And I don't give a damn The first law nature
- 5:39Speaker 1: is self preservation. If you love your child and you
- 5:42Speaker 1: don't want to have to dress your child and a
- 5:43Speaker 1: fresh quarter zip for their funeral, then you better teach
- 5:46Speaker 1: them some damn respect. Please let me ma give these
- 5:49Speaker 1: youngest who jump Kashanda Hatters and her nine year old
- 5:51Speaker 1: son the biggest he hull.
- 5:53Speaker 2: Hee ha he ha. You stupid motherfuck?
- 5:56Speaker 3: Are you dumb?
- 5:58Speaker 1: And that just disturbed spirit because the reality is, I
- 6:02Speaker 1: don't even know what you do.
- 6:04Speaker 3: To them kids.
- 6:05Speaker 2: I'm with you.
- 6:05Speaker 7: I'm surprised the parents there didn't say, you know what,
- 6:08Speaker 7: let's stop it. I'm not gonna say beat up the
- 6:09Speaker 7: little kids, because then they would get in trouble somehow,
- 6:11Speaker 7: some way, but at least stop them from jumping that
- 6:13Speaker 7: pregnant woman or.
- 6:16Speaker 1: Little kids you can you can jump into that crowded stop.
- 6:21Speaker 7: Or I wondered, like other other kids their age not
- 6:26Speaker 7: trying to stop it, you know.
- 6:32Speaker 8: Because as a kid would sit there and watch because
- 6:34Speaker 8: the present one, because my kids wasn't I would see
- 6:38Speaker 8: she wasn't pregnant.
- 6:39Speaker 2: Yeah, my kids. I couldn't see my kids allowing that
- 6:41Speaker 2: like they would jump and trying to.
- 6:43Speaker 3: Stop the kids job.
- 6:46Speaker 2: I'm not but still, it's just what you're taught at
- 6:49Speaker 2: the crib.
- 6:50Speaker 1: No, that's that's that's that's when the that's when the
- 6:52Speaker 1: adults are supposed to intervene.
- 6:54Speaker 3: Okay, takes a village. Child was the village, But.
- 6:58Speaker 1: What if the village is you know, so the kids
- 7:04Speaker 1: got to step in. I'm just saying that there should
- 7:06Speaker 1: have been some uh some some adults to intervene in
- 7:10Speaker 1: that situation. I don't even know how you watch that
- 7:11Speaker 1: go down. Maybe they thought there was just a bunch
- 7:13Speaker 1: of little kids fighting. Maybe they didn't realize that this
- 7:15Speaker 1: woman was thirty three. I'm maybe you still.
- 7:20Speaker 2: STI you see them kids fighting at that age.
- 7:21Speaker 1: But but you know in Chicago you probably see that
- 7:25Speaker 1: all the time.
- 7:26Speaker 3: You're like, you know what, let me.
- 7:27Speaker 1: Stay away from They might got pistols and all kinds.
- 7:30Speaker 2: Of stuff, But then what punishment do you get him? Kid?
- 7:32Speaker 3: That's all I'm trying to figure out. What what is the.
- 7:35Speaker 2: Punishment your TikTok away?
- 7:36Speaker 3: Like all I'm trying to figure out right now. I
- 7:38Speaker 3: have no idea.
- 7:39Speaker 2: Don't want to sell for what they try to get
- 7:40Speaker 2: it shot of him? Like what do you do to?
- 7:43Speaker 3: I don't know?
- 7:43Speaker 1: And salute the little za o Sama too? Man, I
- 7:45Speaker 1: saw that actor service you did. He's flying out from when.
- 7:49Speaker 2: I was rapping from Chicago.
- 7:50Speaker 1: Yeah, he's flying out. Kashanda had her in her nine
- 7:52Speaker 1: year old to la to do some nice steps for them. Man.
- 7:55Speaker 1: So I mean, that's that's the least you can do
- 7:57Speaker 1: in somebody's experience that type of trauma.
- 7:59Speaker 3: But I don't know, bro, I don't know. Man.
- 8:04Speaker 1: My good friend Stacey Shell's Harvey, she hit me up.
- 8:07Speaker 1: She is the CEO of Regeneration Schools. Dropping the clues
- 8:10Speaker 1: bombs for Stacey Harvey okay, ceo of Regeneration Schools. She
- 8:13Speaker 1: heard us discussing what should happen to these kids, because
- 8:17Speaker 1: you know, we really don't know what should happen to
- 8:19Speaker 1: these kids. And she had some suggestions, right, she is like,
- 8:22Speaker 1: I said that the CEO of Regeneration Schools, co founder
- 8:25Speaker 1: of the organization, operates a network of kindergarten to eighth
- 8:29Speaker 1: grade public charter schools in Chicago and Cincinnati. And she
- 8:33Speaker 1: said that child Protective Services should get involved.
- 8:36Speaker 2: Child Protective Service.
- 8:37Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, she said, child Protective Services should get involved.
- 8:41Speaker 1: They need to identify every child involved from the video.
- 8:46Speaker 1: All of those families should be in child protective Services
- 8:49Speaker 1: where someone from the county is coming out to see
- 8:53Speaker 1: what's going on in the household, holding the parents accountable,
- 8:57Speaker 1: making sure these kids go to school. She said the
- 8:59Speaker 1: school should issue suspensions because it was a dismissal. That's
- 9:03Speaker 1: still their jurisdiction. But then child Protective Services should then
- 9:08Speaker 1: be monitoring the children's behaviors at schools, getting reports from
- 9:11Speaker 1: the schools and families, and they should know that if
- 9:14Speaker 1: anything else happens with your kid is going to the
- 9:17Speaker 1: next level. Because people don't like the idea of government
- 9:20Speaker 1: getting involved, but when your child is behaving, your behaving
- 9:23Speaker 1: like that, there has to be consequences, and there have
- 9:25Speaker 1: to be consequences coming from somewhere. And she said it
- 9:27Speaker 1: happens all over Chicago all the time. This is not
- 9:30Speaker 1: a new thing where you know, kids are trying to
- 9:33Speaker 1: fight adults or kids are trying to fight their teachers.
- 9:36Speaker 7: Yeah, okay, I mean it's scary when when you bring in,
- 9:38Speaker 7: you know, CPS, because you just don't want to body's
- 9:42Speaker 7: child taken out for an unjust reason, right if they
- 9:46Speaker 7: have a history, Yes, I get it, But sometimes kids
- 9:49Speaker 7: are just stupid and kids do what their friends do,
- 9:51Speaker 7: you know what I mean, which is stupid.
- 9:52Speaker 2: I'm not saying I'm not giving them a reason.
- 9:54Speaker 7: I would hate for us to see a kid taken
- 9:55Speaker 7: out of the thing about life family without them.
- 9:58Speaker 1: You know, if you don't intervene, now that behavior continues,
- 10:01Speaker 1: and guess what, you ain't gonna have to call nobody.
- 10:04Speaker 1: They're gonna come get your ass once you become an adult. Right,
- 10:07Speaker 1: but when you do stuff like.
- 10:08Speaker 7: That, Yeah, no, no, no, those kids definitely should be held accountable.
- 10:10Speaker 7: But I'm just I would hate to see PS to
- 10:12Speaker 7: take them kids out of the house without having.
- 10:13Speaker 2: The parents beat their ass first, I don't I don't know.
- 10:18Speaker 3: I'm just telling you what Stacey said.
- 10:19Speaker 7: All right, stay all right when we come back, we
- 10:23Speaker 7: got the positive.
- 10:23Speaker 2: No inmore so, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club.
