Three teens assault 6-year-old girl in broad daylight — she's allegedly punched in the chest — then they steal her $30 scooter



Three teenagers assaulted a 6-year-old girl in broad daylight late last month in Brooklyn — she allegedly was punched in the chest — and then they stole her scooter, Fox News said.

What are the details?

New York City police said the attack took place in the Williamsburg neighborhood near Throop Avenue and Bartlett Street just before 6 p.m. July 28 when "three male individuals" approached the girl, WNBC-TV reported.

One of them punched her in the chest with a closed fist while the other two grabbed her scooter, WNBC said.

Surveillance video recorded the moments before the attack and just after the attack — but so far not the attack itself.

Video does show the suspects crossing a street, disappearing behind a vehicle, then reappearing in getaway mode — with one of them carrying the little girl's scooter as he runs off.

All three ran down Throop Avenue after the robbery, WNBC said, adding that the little girl's scooter is worth an estimated $30.

"What is going on with the world?" Sandra Warner of Brooklyn asked WNBC. "How could you stoop so low?"

Jordan Day of Brooklyn added to the station that "it's crazy how a little girl can't even ride her scooter, like, just to have fun" when "troublemakers" are around to ruin it.

Anything else?

WNBC said emergency services treated the girl at the scene, and she wasn't hospitalized. Fox News said she suffered no major injuries.

Police added to the station that the trio of attackers are between the ages of 14 and 16.

Fox News said one of the teens was wearing a black T-shirt, red shorts, and red shoes; another was wearing a white T-shirt, blue shorts, and black shoes; the third was wearing a multicolored blue, yellow, and orange T-shirt, gray pants, and gray shoes.

That third suspect — who was carrying the scooter as he ran off — also was wearing a cap which appeared to be gray.

Viral video shows mother pushing 6-year-old daughter to confess gender identity: 'Are you a boy or are you a girl?'



A mother's parenting skills are being questioned after a TikTok video about her 6-year-old daughter's gender identity went viral.

What are the details?

In the video, a mother — who, on TikTok, goes by "Smooches24" — can be heard asking her unnamed child questions about whether she is a boy or a girl.

The unnamed mother shared the video on TikTok and captioned it, "My six-year-old daughter asks me if I think she 'looks like a boy.' I asked her, 'Do you wanna look like a boy?' Her response left me speechless."

The child's response sadly did not actually leave the mother speechless, and instead, the mother begins to pepper the child with what appear to be leading questions about her perceived gender identity.

"Are you a boy or are you a girl?" the woman can be heard asking the child.

The child responds, "I don't know. I don't know who I am."

The mother continues, "So you don't know who you are?"

The little girl shakes her head.

The woman presses, "Who do you think you are?"

The little girl answers, "I feel like I'm a boy, but I feel like—"

Interrupting, the mother interjects, "You feel like you're a boy? What makes you think that?"

The child — who is clearly confused and appears to be mildly uneasy with the third-degree at this point — responds, "I'm not sure, but I feel like I'm talking like a boy."

Blaze Media's Sara Gonzales tweeted the video Monday, captioning it, "This is child abuse."

What has been the response?

One Twitter user mocked the mother in the video, and responded, "'I don't know why I feel like a boy, mommy, but I think I will get my emotional needs met if I answer the way you obviously expect me to.'"

Another user added, "Her response left her speechless.....because she couldn't believe how well her daughter recited the speech she taught her."

A third user fired back, "If someone had asked me if I thought I was a dinosaur at 6 years old ... I would have said YES. These questions and conversations should not be taking place at all with children this young. LET YOUR CHILDREN BE F***ING CHILDREN YOU PSYCHOPATHS."

"I will tell you all right now that if I'd been asked this when I was a kid I wouldn't know the answer, either. But since I wasn't asked this (& it never became a ?) my gender never became an issue," another commenter chimed in. "This isn't hard for most kids, but WE adults are making it hard for so many kids."
