[UPDATE: CHARGES FILED] – Disturbing online viral video shows brutal attack on young mom and her child

There’s yet another recording of a disturbing attack, this time on a mom and her child.

There is one report that the woman attacked was pregnant, but it seems to be unconfirmed as of yet.

The police in Brooklyn, Illinois, said that suspects had been arrested over the video:

In reference to the investigation involving the video released on 7/13/2020, regarding an incident that happened on 7/10/2020 involving the battery of a female and her child in the Thomas Terry Apartments, all suspects were taken into custody on 7/14/2020 and are being held at the St Clair County jail pending formal charges by the St. Clair County States Attorneys office.
When those charges are issued, we will update the public.

Not even sure what to say about this one, except who knows what preceded the attack. People tend to edit out whatever might make them more culpable for what happens in a video, but in this case it looks like they gleefully recorded the attack for fun. Pretty horrible all around.

 
UPDATE: The Brooklyn Police Department have announced the following charges:

In reference to the circulated video posted online on 7/13/2020. The Brooklyn Police Department conducted an investigation which resulted in 2 adults and one juvenile taken into custody. Charges were submitted to the St. Clair County States Attorney’s office. Those charges were reviewed and warrants were granted.

On 7/16/2020 the St. Clair County States Attorney issued the following charges,
