What the hell do you want me to do? The kid was hurt, traumatized but lived. That happens to kids all over the world all day, every day.
Should I become outraged that this isn't all over the news? Should I run around my front yard yelling at the top of my lungs?
How much outrage is needed to fulfill your requirement?

It was a public place, yeah, but there must have been some friction. Being a mother, you jet at first signs of friction, she just sat there, and sat and sat and sat...
and noticed I said "(maybe not as much as the blackie)"

"Where's the media outrage"
The new rallying cry of race baiting conservatives.
How about the same amount of outrage of the Cop in McKinney Texas who had to use physical force to restrain a female teenager because she pulled away?

There is a war on for public perception and it is self-evident to many that crimes committed by Whites or police against Blacks are given far more priority than the reverse. It helps to feed a victim narrative that is not based in reality. All crimes and all races should be given equal consideration in all things, media coverage included.
When the President and other public figures are vocal about crimes against one race only to the detriment of others they are trying to program our beliefs about reality.
I don't take this as race baiting but simply a heinous crime that the MSM should be covering considering a child was involved.

Maybe it is because I am from England, but I really do not understand the need to say white/black in a story about violence/abuse.
Hope all are ok, hope all those who use these issues, as a motive for whatever, pay the price, one day. shame.

Because in America, it is shoved down our throats daily by the media.

Still, the rates for younger African Americans remain 4.5 times higher, and for older African Americans 1.7 times higher, than for other races and ages.
Young black males in recent years were at a far greater risk of being shot dead by police than their white counterparts – 21 times greater, according to a ProPublica analysis of federally collected data on fatal police shootings.
But let's take the South Carolina shootings for example. It was a terrible tragedy. It certainly should have NEVER happened. Yes.. the victims were black and the shooter was white. Yes, apparently it was racially motivated. And believe me.. American media is making certain that we know it.
We've been presented pictures of this psycho with the "Confederate Flag", which of course is now spawning a new wave of "political correctness" with people calling for the flag to be banned. Many stores have already done so, including Amazon. Never mind that I can still go on Amazon and buy a Nazi flag, or a Che Guevara shirt. But a Confederate Flag??? DATS RACISSS...
American media is extremely quick to point out when a victim is black and the offender is white. How about Ferguson? The headlines weren't "Police officer shoots and kills man"... it was "White Officer shoots and kills unarmed black man".
