**Demand Charges and Accountability in School Incidents of Violence**

Every parent desires a safe environment for their children to learn, grow, and thrive. Unfortunately, an alarming incident in Chicago, Illinois, involving Corshawnda Hatter and her children has shattered the trust parents place in their educational institutions. Parents, children, and communities in the United States have to do better. This incident is a wake-up call for parents, school officials, and the community at large to take immediate and firm action.

**The Incident:**
Corshawnda Hatter and her children were reportedly attacked after school by their peers. The school is supposed to be an environment meant to be shielded from any harm. Her son was bullied for 2 years at this same school. Despite the seriousness of these allegations, the lack of transparency and accountability from Orville T Bright Elementary School is incredibly disturbing. A school should be a pillar of safety and care, yet the events surrounding this incident suggest otherwise.

**Why This Matters:**
This is not just about Corshawnda Hatter and her family. This is a call to protect all families from the ongoing threat of violence in schools. By failing to address and prosecute these acts of aggression, we are setting a terrifying precedent that endangers other students and undermines parental trust in the education system.

**What's at Stake:**
Without accountability, today's victims could face further victimization, and tomorrow's children could be discouraged by the notion that their safety does not matter. An educational environment where violence is not addressed empowers aggressors and exacerbates trauma among victims.

**Our Demands:**

1. **File Charges Against the Attackers:**

- We demand legal action against the children who attacked Corshawnda Hatter and her children. However difficult, holding minors accountable is crucial for justice and prevention.

2. **Parental Accountability:**

- We demand legal action against the parents of the involved children and be held accountable. It is imperative that we stress the importance of parental responsibility and involvement in children's behavior.

3. **School Transparency and Accountability:**

- Orville T Bright Elementary School must provide a clear and public account of the incident and the steps taken in its aftermath. We demand transparency in policies and actions to ensure such incidents are mitigated and appropriately handled in the future.

Ensuring accountability not only pacifies immediate concerns but also serves as a proactive step to dismantle the roots of violence within academic environments. It's time for action, not just discussion.

Sign this petition to demand justice, transparency, and accountability. Let's protect our children and secure a safer future.
