A black 9-year-old boy in Brooklyn, New York, says he won’t accept the apology of a white woman who falsely accused him of groping her at a deli last week. Jeremiah Harvey and his mom, Someko Bellille, told attendees at a neighborhood meeting Monday that the episode represented more than just a misunderstanding. “What happened to us respecting one another, having unity and being neighborly?” Bellille wondered aloud to the crowd. In separate comments to ABC7, Jeremiah said: “I don’t forgive this woman, and she needs help.”As seen in surveillance video provided by the store, Jeremiah’s hands were nowhere near Teresa Klein last Wednesday, when she said she’d felt someone grab her behind. In the footage, Jeremiah’s backpack appears to be the real culprit, brushing against Klein as he walks by.
