Hundreds Walk Boy Home from School after Bullies Shout Racial Slurs
POSTED 4:45 PM, OCTOBER 12, 2017, BY TRIBUNE MEDIA WIRE
MURRAY, Utah -- Hundreds gathered to walk a Utah boy home from school after bullies yelled racial slurs at him and left him fearing he would be shot, according to KSTU.
Last Thursday, Mateus Romualdo called his mother after he walked home from Viewmont Elementary School. His mother, Heather Romauldo, said he was frantic.
He was walking home from school last Thursday when a car full of teenagers drove by repeatedly yelling a racial slur at him, Romauldo said. He felt very terrified and actually told me he thought the kids were going to shoot him.
Heather shared her sons story on Facebook. It spread quickly and reached Mateus youth basketball coach, Troy Harlan.
