Following a shocking incident in Chicago where a mother and her son were reportedly beaten by a group of elementary-aged children after school, Pastor Corey Brooks is calling for accountability. The victims were hospitalized and listed in serious condition, according to the Chicago Police Department, which is currently investigating the incident. No arrests have been made.
Brooks, in an interview, highlighted a perceived lack of parental accountability as a major contributor to the cycle of violence in Chicago. This incident has sparked concerns about the erosion of respect within the community, a sentiment echoed by Chicago Police 7th District Councilman Joseph Williams. Brooks is currently walking across America to raise awareness about issues facing urban areas.
