With tears streaming down his cheeks, a 9-year-old black child spoke out at a community meeting in New York about being wrongly accused of grabbing a white woman's backside in a corner store -- an incident disproved by security-camera footage. With his mother standing beside him, Jeremiah Hervey delivered a simple message at the community meeting: "Friendship is really the key." Jeremiah's emotional response came six days after Teresa Klein called the police and claimed the boy had grabbed her butt in a Brooklyn corner store Wednesday. Klein issued an apology after viewing surveillance video of Jeremiah's backpack brushing her backside as he passed her in the store. The video clearly shows Jeremiah's hands were in front of him as he passed her.

This misrepresents the story a bit though because after sheΒ βapologizedβ to the little boy, Teresa Klein went after his mother AGAIN anyway.
It has been suggested that Teresa Klein has mental health issues and I am sympathetic to that, but it DOES NOT EXCUSE WHAT SHE HAS DONE TO THIS INNOCENTΒ CHILD AND HIS FAMILY.
