Seven children as young as 10 years old have been charged with battery in Chicago after a viral video showed them brutally attacking a mother and her 9-year-old son, exposing how liberal policies have failed to address escalating youth violence and institutional negligence in our schools.

Story Highlights

Seven minors aged 10-13 charged with misdemeanor battery after brutal assault on mother and child
Victim warned Chicago Public Schools about bullying for two years but was repeatedly ignored
All attackers released from custody with counseling referrals, raising accountability concerns
Incident highlights failure of liberal juvenile justice policies to protect law-abiding families

Institutional Failure Enabled Violent Escalation

Corshawnda Hatter repeatedly warned officials at Orville T. Bright Elementary School for two years about older students bullying and following her 9-year-old son home. School staff allegedly avoided her concerns, with Hatter stating they would “run or tell security to tell me they are not there” when she approached. This bureaucratic negligence allowed a dangerous situation to escalate into criminal violence, demonstrating how progressive education policies prioritize administrative convenience over student safety and parental rights.

The November 17 assault occurred at 3:10 p.m. near the elementary school in Chicago’s South Deering neighborhood. The viral video showed multiple children punching, knocking down, and repeatedly attacking the 33-year-old mother while her brave son attempted to defend her. Both victims were hospitalized in serious condition at Trinity Hospital, with the child continuing to suffer trauma, waking up screaming and asking “Mommy are you there?”

Weak Juvenile Justice Response Fails Victims

Chicago police charged seven minors with misdemeanor battery, but all were immediately released from custody with counseling referrals. The attackers include three 10-year-old boys, a 10-year-old girl, an 11-year-old girl, a 12-year-old boy, and a 13-year-old girl. This lenient response exemplifies how liberal juvenile justice policies prioritize criminals over victims, sending a dangerous message that violent behavior carries minimal consequences even when it traumatizes innocent families.

Mayor Brandon Johnson and Chicago Public Schools issued typical progressive statements emphasizing counseling and mental health resources rather than meaningful accountability. Johnson called for more counselors in schools while the investigation remains ongoing. Meanwhile, the traumatized family was forced to relocate from their neighborhood for safety, demonstrating how current policies protect perpetrators while abandoning law-abiding citizens to fend for themselves.

Parents Abandoned by Failed System

This incident exposes the broader breakdown of institutional responsibility under progressive leadership. CPS claims commitment to “physically and emotionally safe environments” while systematically ignoring parental warnings about escalating threats. The coordinated response involving multiple city agencies only materialized after public outrage over the viral video, revealing how bureaucrats prioritize damage control over proactive protection of students and families.

Conservative parents across America recognize this pattern of institutional failure that places ideology over common sense. When schools refuse to address bullying complaints and juvenile offenders face no real consequences for violent crimes, families suffer while bureaucrats make excuses. This case demonstrates why parents must remain vigilant in holding schools accountable and why communities need leaders who prioritize public safety over progressive social experiments that endanger our children.
