Chicago Mom Corshawnda Hatter Files Charges Kids Minors Orville Bright Elementary School New HomeChicago Mom Corshawnda Hatter Files Charges Kids Minors Orville Bright Elementary School New Home

Corshawnda Hatter has reportedly been relocated to a new home, just days after a group of school-aged kids jumped her and her son. The Chicago mom was walking home after picking up her nine-year-old and her daughter from Orville Bright Elementary School. Suddenly, a group of kids surrounded them. They taunted and used nasty language at Corshawnda Hatter before finally laying hands on the 33-year-old and her children. Amid speaking about the assault, the Chicago mom revealed plans to file charges. Meanwhile, the Chicago community has rallied to get the family a new address and school.

Chicago Mom Wants To Press Charges

As previously reported, Corshawnda Hatter and her two children were assaulted on Monday. By Tuesday, she had met with the police at Orville. She had also received treatment at a hospital for her injuries from the attack. More than 10 children taunted the mother with comments about her appearance as she held her nine-year-old son and six-year-old daughter. Eventually, the group of Chicago kids took turns punching, kicking, and pulling the hair of the mom and her son. Her daughter, whose hair had been pulled too, stood nearby as her mom and brother got dragged, thrown to the sidewalk and grass, and stomped out.

In the hospital, she expressed in a social media video that her son is friendly and not a fighter. Since then, Corshawnda Hatter and Devon Lee, her partner and father of her children, spoke to CBS News. Hatter told the outlet earlier this week that her legs are bruised, and that she feels pain when she walks. Devon said the mom suffers from sickle cell disease, which includes symptoms that the school-aged kids picked on. Still, Lee said the kids involved in the assault had “…no right to put their hands on an adult.” 

Physical pain aside, Corshawnda said her son is “very devastated,” and wakes up from his sleep screaming and calling for her.

“I felt helpless, because I was down on the ground, and he was down on the ground, and he’s looking at me, screaming, like, ‘Mommy, please help me. Help me.’ I couldn’t get up myself. I couldn’t do nothing,” the Chicago mom said.

For two years before attack, Corshawnda said she had warned the school about other kids bullying her son about how she walks and talks. Still, Orville Bright Elementary School did nothing, she told ABC7 Chicago.

“For two years, and they have not done a thing,” the mom said. “They see me coming they will run or tell security to tell me they are not here.”

Moving forward, Hatter told CBS of getting her kids therapy, transferring them to a different school and holding the underage assailants and their parents account. She told CBS she plans to press charges against the parents involved. Lee is on board with justice, per ABC7.

“I want justice. I want the school to be responsible, the parents and the kids that were doing all that mess,” the dad said, adding that he too is experiencing trauma on account of the viral video.

Family Gets New Address After Assault By Minors

In addition to changing schools, Hatter confirmed that the community rallied to help change her address. The mom and her kids have reportedly moved out of South Deering neighborhood in Chicago into an unknown location.

ABC7 Chicago reports that Living Fresh Market in Forest Park set up a donation box for the family, and others. Also, Dyon Brooks, a comedian from the area, donated $5,000 to the family for moving expenses. He spoke out against the “sad” and “sick” video, saying he’s never seen anything like it, per NBC News.

“Let’s come together Chicago. We’re so much better than this and the way we’re rallying around to get behind her and the family—I think it’s very admirable,” Brooks said. “I’m happy to see us coming together, but I don’t want us to have to come together for just in these types of situations—let’s come together before it even gets this far.”
