A Hood News Peep reached out about a very troubling situation involving her grandson.
She said he suddenly didn’t want to go to school and wouldn’t say why. Later, his sister told her kids at school had been teasing him.
The middle schooler stopped at Fuel Depot after school because he really needed to use the restroom. He was told it was out of service and couldn’t use it.
The child ended up going behind the building, and it was caught on surveillance. In the video, the boy is doing the number two, and since he has no access to toilet paper, he scoots on the grass to clean himself and it was all captured on video.
Instead of handling it properly, the store printed out surveillance camera images from the incident and put them on the door. Kids from his school saw it, went inside, and the clerk reportedly showed them the video from a phone. The kids recorded it and started sharing it.
The video is now circulating among students at Attucks Middle School and Alcott Elementary School.
Now the boy is being bullied, doesn’t want to go to school, and his family says he’s struggling mentally.
This involves a minor and should’ve never been handled like that. Earlier this afternoon, I went on Facebook live and talked to our Hood News Peep. She is so saddened by how the store handled this and concerned knowing that many children were given access to this disturbing video of her grandson using the restroom.
She and I will be going to the Police Station. Stay tuned.
