I don’t know where to go to feel safe with my kids
Not Texas for starters
Texas sucks, but I was just on a jury selection for an injury to a child case, and at least they have their ducks in a row when it comes to that particular law. Maximum penalty is 99 years with or without parole.
Adding attempted capital murder, if the facts of the case are as they’re reported, this lady is fucked.
Hurting someone’s child is irredeemable.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR, said in a news release that the mother visibly appeared to be Muslim, as she was wearing a hijab and modest swimwear.
“The mother began helping her son when Wolf grabbed her 3-year-old daughter and forced her underwater,” police said.
H.,” said her daughter is traumatized by the incident and hides whenever she opens their apartment door out of fear that Wolf “will come and immerse her head in the water again.”
CAIR’s Texas branch called on federal and state authorities to investigate the incident as a hate crime.
Shaimaa Zayan, CAIR’s Austin operations manager, said, “We are seeing a new level of bigotry here where a person deeply believes they get to decide, based on religion, spoken language and country of origin, whose kids deserve to stay alive and whose don’t.”
State Rep. Salman Bhojani, a Democrat who represents the area in the Texas House, said he was “shocked and appalled” by the alleged racist incident.
