Chicago Mom & Son Jumped Walking Home From School [VIDEO]

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS – Chicago’s Far South Side is heated after a disturbing video went viral showing a mother and her children being attacked by a group of students as they walked home from Orville Bright Elementary School. The incident has triggered full-blown outrage, packed protests outside the school, and demands for immediate expulsions.

The victims have been identified as 33-year-old Carshawnda Hatter and her 9-year-old son, who were both rushed to Trinity Hospital in serious condition.

According to Chicago police, the attack happened just after 3:00 p.m. Monday near 10600 S. Bensley Ave. in the South Deering community. Officers say Hatter and her children were walking on the sidewalk when a group of juveniles approached and began attacking them.

A now-viral video shows students following, yelling, and crowding around the family before multiple kids begin swinging on them.

Standing outside the school Tuesday morning, surrounded by furious community members, Hatter described the terrifying moments leading up to the attack.

“They were literally waiting on the route we walk home just to jump all of us,” she said.

“I told my kids to come to the next side of the street so they wouldn’t get jumped. They followed us all the way… They fought my son first. Then they dragged me in the grass.”

Police escorted Hatter into a closed-door meeting with school administrators while supporters chanted for justice outside.

Hatter said her child has been bullied before — but this incident crossed every line.

“I’m trying to get justice for my son.”

Dozens of parents and residents showed up Tuesday, demanding accountability and long-overdue disciplinary action.

Many demanded immediate expulsions, while others insisted that school leadership and Chicago Public Schools have failed to protect families in the community.

Local media outlets confirmed they’ve reached out to Chicago Public Schools but have not received a response — adding to parents’ frustration.

Chicago police say they are still determining what led up to the attack, and so far, no arrests have been made.
