8-Year-Old Black Child Severely Burned During Sleepover At White Friend’s Home But 911 Was Never Called, Parents Demand Answers
Earl Charles, Jayceon’s grandfather, said the family reached out to the police, but officers haven’t contacted anyone for interviews or reviewed medical records. The child’s loved ones believe they may be facing discrimination because they are Black and the other family is white.
“The stories that’s been told never sat right with me from the beginning,” he said in a Facebook video according to Atlanta Black Star. “I never understood why so many people dropped the ball and just didn’t show any concern.”
