The family of the five-year-old boy who was the target of racial slurs from a white woman during a widely shared incident at a playground in Minnesota is now urging authorities to press charges against her.

In a video captured at Soldiers Field Memorial Park, the woman, identified as Shiloh Hendrix, is seen holding her young child while being confronted by a man who accuses her of directing a racial slur at a young black boy.

When questioned about the incident, Hendrix fails to deny the accusation and even goes on to say, ‘If that’s how he’s going to behave,’ before using the offensive term again towards the man filming and making a crude gesture.

‘So that gives you the right to call the child, five-years-old, a n*****, the ‘N-word?’ the man asks her incredulously before the two engage in a disturbing back-and-forth.

Following the incident, Hendrix initiated her own crowdfunding campaign that has garnered over $755,000 in donations.

The parents of the boy she directed the hateful slur at issued a statement that was delivered during at NAACP town hall on Wednesday, reported KIMT.

Walé Elegbede, president of the Rochester NAACP, read the statement for them, claiming they wish to remain anonymous due to safety concerns. 

‘We as the parents of the young boy, demand that those responsible for this tragic event, the unimaginable pain that has affected our beloved child, be held fully accountable. Our child deserves justice and we will not rest until it is served,’ the parents said. 

The five-year-old’s family asked for people to donate to them as they pursue accountability.

‘As the parents of the young boy, as we navigate the emotional , legal and medical challenges ahead, we are asking the public for Financial Support,’ the parents said.

‘There are individuals who are attempting to benefit financially from the assault that happened to us. We request the authorities to protect us and stop people from using our pain for profit.’

The NAACP initially launched a GoFundMe for the family that was paused after reaching $341,594. 

In a recent press release, the organization promoted a second fundraiser that is being managed by the family and has raised $1,250. 

‘As the parent of the young boy at the park, our family’s safety is no longer guaranteed, we are becoming increasingly vulnerable as more people gain access to our private information including where we live,’ the family said.

‘We are doing everything we can to secure our environment and shield our child from further trauma but we cannot do it alone.’

The Rochester Police Department investigated the video and submitted their findings to the city’s attorney’s office, reported WCCO.

The confrontation reportedly began after Hendrix claimed the child took a toy from her son’s diaper bag. 

She started her fundraising campaign because she claimed she had been ‘threatened to the extreme by people online’ and needs to relocate.

The support shown toward Hendrix has drawn criticism online, with many questioning the motivations behind the donations and expressing concern over the message it sends regarding accountability for racist behavior. 

A trad-wife influencer left Piers Morgan stunned when she came to Hendrix’s defense on his show.

Morgan asked controversial influencer Lilly Gaddis why she ‘would want to support a white racist – to which she replied, ‘Because I want to support free speech.’

Morgan responded by saying he understands the free speech argument, but argued, ‘You also have to be accountable for what you say.’

At that point, he asked Gaddis whether she would ever use the racial slur – to which she replied ‘Yes’ without hesitation.

‘You would?’ the conservative news host asked, his mouth agape at the answer.

‘Mhm, I do it quite frequently,’ said Gaddis, who was once caught on video using the ‘n-word’ while talking about relationships.
