Across America, children are being lynched both in real life and in music videos. This is deplorable and cannot stand.

The New Hampshire Lynching

As noted by Newsweek and the New York Times, an 8-year-old biracial boy was hung from a tree by a group of white teenagers on August 28 in Claremont, New Hampshire. Due to the young ages of all parties involved, the Claremont police department will not disclose names. This situation is beyond haunting.

The older teens reportedly had the 8-year-old climb on top of a picnic table before placing the rope around his neck and pushing the boy off the table and leaving him there to hang. This child’s older sister was present during the horrific ordeal and says her brother grabbed the ropes around his neck, kicked, and turned purple before being able to free himself.

How far have we fallen? What is going on in the minds of children, or anyone really, who thinks it’s acceptable to lynch an 8-year-old child? This boy could have died. The white teens who lynched this biracial child also reportedly hurled racial expletives at him before nearly killing him.
