Corshawnda Hatter is reportedly relocating to a new home, just days after a group of school-aged kids jumped her and her son. The Chicago mom was walking home after picking up her nine-year-old and her daughter from Orville Bright Elementary School. Suddenly, a group of kids surrounded them. They taunted and used nasty language at Corshawnda Hatter before finally laying hands on the 33-year-old and her children. Amid speaking about the assault, the Chicago mom revealed plans to file charges. Meanwhile, the Chicago community has rallied to get the family a new address and school.
Chicago Mom Wants To Press Charges
As previously reported, Corshawnda Hatter and her two children were assaulted on Monday. By Tuesday, she had met with the police at Orville. She had also received treatment at a hospital for her injuries from the attack. More than 10 children taunted the mother with comments about her appearance as she held her nine-year-old son and six-year-old daughter. Eventually, the group of Chicago kids took turns punching, kicking, and pulling the hair of the mom and her son. Her daughter, whose hair had been pulled too, stood nearby as her mom and brother got dragged, thrown to the sidewalk and grass, and stomped out.

Hatter told the outlet earlier this week that her legs are bruised, and that she feels pain when she walks. Devon said the mom suffers from sickle cell disease, which includes symptoms that the school-aged kids picked on. Still, Lee said the kids involved in the assault had “…no right to put their hands on an adult.”
Physical pain aside, Corshawnda said her son is “very devastated,” and wakes up from his sleep screaming and calling for her.
“I felt helpless, because I was down on the ground, and he was down on the ground, and he’s looking at me, screaming, like, ‘Mommy, please help me. Help me.’ I couldn’t get up myself. I couldn’t do nothing,” the Chicago mom said…
