Information that a woman allegedly tried to drown a Palestinian-American baby at a lake in Texas “deeply disturb” US President Joe Biden, who said on Monday.
Following the May event, which attracted national interest over the weekend, the person has been charged with capital murder, according to court documents.
The 42-year-old woman reportedly approached a mom who was wearing a dress at a residential apartment complex near Dallas.
She finally asked whether the mother’s six- year- older son and three- year- older daughter belonged to her and even made racist statements, according to US media reports.
The woman reportedly grabbed the child, who was able to squeeze completely, then grabbed the child, whom she pushed under.
” No child should ever be subjected to a violent strike, and my heart goes out to the home”, Biden said on X on Monday.
He said,” I am deeply disturbed by the reports of a 3-year-old Palestinian-American trying to drown at a neighborhood pool.”
On Saturday, the Texas chapter of the Council on American- Islamic Relations ( CAIR ), which has called for a hate crimes probe, held a press conference on the incident.
The mother claimed that her relatives was of Arab descent and that she was American.
The conflict in Gaza has sparked intense emotions in the United States, especially on university campuses, where there have been many protests.
Additionally, it has resulted in a number of anti-Semitic and anti-Islamophobic deeds all over the nation.
In Vermont’s northeastern state in November, a person shot and injured three students of Arab descent.
A six-year-old Muslim boy was fatally stabbed in Chicago in a murder directly related to the Gaza War, according to authorities, in early October.
