The mom of a 10-year-old boy received the shock of her life recently: a phone call from her local juvenile court, explaining that her son would be charged with aggravated assault, months after a playground game of dodgeball at his elementary school.
“I couldn’t believe it,” Cameishi Lindley, mother of soon-to-be-fifth-grader Bryce Lindley, told 7 Action News about the call, received from the Wayne County Juvenile Court in Canton, Mich., on July 24.
A young Black kid being charged for the assault of a 10-year-old White kid? While I don't know if this a was racially-oriented hit on the White kid, I bet it is certainly going to influence even more race-baiting.
But the injured child’s mother — who declined to release her name or her child’s to the public — says her son had a previous medical condition that made him susceptible to head injuries. Further, she alleges to 7 Action News that this particular injury was no accident, adding that he “sustained facial tissue damage to his face. He had a black eye and a bruised nose.” She says that her son had already experienced similar incidents while engaging in physical activities at school, and that she “tried not to let it get to this point.”
So to sum up... some little black kid in Michigan threw a ball really hard at a little white kid's head giving him a black eye and a concussion. He got in trouble with the authorities. It's racist.

If the roles were reversed, the story would likely gain ever more coverage (White boy injuring a Black boy).
