‘Very dire situation’: White mom now faces criminal charges for calling black boy the N-word at playground

A white Minnesota mother will face criminal charges for calling a young black child the N-word after the youngster was allegedly stealing from her own child’s belongings at a public playground.

Video of the April incident went viral, and on Tuesday the Rochester City Attorney’s Office said it intends to file three counts of disorderly conduct against Shiloh Hendrix, according to KTTC-TV.

While the charges are still subject to review and approval by a district court judge, the legal complaint concludes “[Shiloh] wrongfully and unlawfully engaged in offensive, obscene, abusive, boisterous, or noisy conduct, or in offensive obscene, or abusive language that would reasonably tend to arouse alarm, anger, or resentment in others.”

Hendrix could face a maximum of 90 days in jail and/or a $1,000 fine.
