10yo Fredarico was attacked by the adults whose job it is to keep him safe. He was verbally assaulted by his school bus driver, fellow students, and had his life put at risk when his principal, Dr. York (pictured)called the police on him, choked him, and called him “a savage.”
His school bus driver in Winona, MN called him an animal and said “I don’t like your kind.” One week after the murder of #dauntewright, and 9 months after the murder of #georgefloyd. A student called him the n-word . #protectblackkids#justiceforfredarico
Fredarico has had more trauma than most in his young life. This was too much to add. Fortunately, his aunt is a psychiatrist. So when found out he had attempted suicide I came to fight. #justiceforFredarico#protectblackboys@MnNaacp@ACLU@ACLUMN
We have a long fight ahead to ensure Fredarico can safely go to school and to hold his teachers, administrators, and other leaders accountable. If you can donate to support him or our family's legal fees please do so here paypal.me/pools/c/8yT1kF…
Black children are precious and loved and we know, especially in MN, that calling the police on a Black child is an act of violence. We must rid this racist violence from our schools, end the school to prison pipeline, and get #justiceforfredarico
Yall I've had another family from SAIL reach out about abuse of their child. And their child said that the school locked students in the gym so they wouldn't see how the teachers dealt with my nephew. This is bad , bad.
