Eight-year-old Jordan Jackson and his 4-year-old sister, J’Niaha. Jackson said her son sustained a broken arm and a concussion and was later diagnosed with post-concussion syndrome. Jackson told the newspaper that another young boy started throwing mulch at Jordan, and when Jordan told the child to stop, the child’s 13-year-old brother walked over and confronted Jordan, pushing him to the ground. Another child, who had not been involved, then joined the altercation, telling Jordan, “You need to go back to the cotton farm,” Jackson told the Weekly Citizen. The boy’s mother told the Weekly Citizen that she only wants those responsible to be held accountable for her son’s medical care.
