NEW: Chicago pastor Corey Brooks is demanding action after a mother and her son were beaten by a mob of elementary-aged children after school. The young boy was seen trying to hold on tight to his mom as the children hit her. During an interview with Fox News, Brooks said parents are not being held accountable for their children's actions. "Unfortunately, this is the cycle that we continue to see in the city of Chicago, where violence is so rampant and parents aren't being held accountable," he said. "That's the reason why I am walking across America, trying to get people to wake up in our urban areas so they can understand the magnitude of the issues that we're faced with every single day." "I think we've gone away from [respect], and we have to get back to those days," said Chicago Police 7th District Councilman Joseph Williams. According to the Chicago PD, the woman and her son were transported to the hospital. They were in "serious condition" at the time of the statement. "No one is in custody at this time. Area Two detectives are investigating," they said. Infuriating.
