Footage of a gang of white teens assaulting an autistic black child has sparked sorrow and outrage online after going viral.
Full story below…
The video, which we have decided not to share, sees a group of teenagers force a black child to kiss their feet as they attacked him with racist insults.
Footage of the horrific incident surfaced online and made its way to Twitter where a number of users were able to identify two of the child’s attackers.
Amber Oliver.
Harvey Senior.
This is Kieran, a lovely young boy with autism. The other 2 in the video, I have no words to describe. The video speaks for itself. Kieran, I got you my guy, always. I appreciate the love and support you send me constantly. Keep that head of yours high. Love, your friend, MR ♥️ https://t.co/hJnCUlntbL

Update:
Amber Oliver and Harvey Senior are in police custody.
For the record, there are thousands of kids out there being bullied by others for being different, whether it’s a condition, a disease, a different physique and even racism among kids who duplicate what they hear and see at home.
Kids need to be educated. Not only by their parents, but also schools who should teach them about certain conditions and how it affects those persons.
Your point? This is about racism. I’m glad people are finding the people in these videos. Racists, your time is up.
That’s why I don’t get why blk people date or marry white people…its confusing marrying your eternal enemies…🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Harvey Senior’s parents turned him in to the police! Respect! They understand that they raised a little twerp! A certified dork! Who raised Amber Stank? 😂 I don’t care what anyone says…if you were raised right, you wouldn’t be doing lame things like this at 16 and 17, period! Just because you’re young doesn’t mean you get to be dumb! Take responsibility for yourself *Tyra voice* 🤣 We love you Kieran! You keep being you! That’s all you have to do 🤳🏽 ❤️ 💯
