What disgusts me about the call is he kept referring to her as “a little woman.” When he was well aware she was a child. He did this purposefully and everyone should know so.
Absolutely right! The 911 transcript clearly indicated he lied and had malicious intent.
Yep, they always like to make young people of color, literal CHILDREN, seem like adults to make it seem like they should know better and that they're menacing smh
Yes. Intuitively he knows children should automatically be protected. To call her “little/black woman” made him feel justified. He’s disgusting but she’s a beauty 😊
A little woman? WTFFFFFFF
Racists see black children as adults
What's so egregious is that the guy called the police and reported someone in a hoodie who was scaring him. Like, look how small this little girl is!! A grown assed man calling police on a child of color like she was a 6'3" grown man threatening him. What if police had rolled up with guns drawn? Perfect example of people abusing and misusing police services.
A racist cowardly wm called the police on this beautiful and smart black girl. He should be ashamed of himself. The police should have arrested him for filing a false report. As usual they gave the racist cover. The journalists overlooked that too.
His ass shouldve been arrested
Exactly, the neighbor should have been arrested for the racially profiled misuse of police services call he made. Because when the officer got to the scene, he saw, and by the transcribed call, knew what was going on. Wimp guy has his attorney respond for him.
I believe the new terminology is weaponizing the police because these cowards hide behind closed doors and phones calls in an attempt to get police to do their "dirty work"... so glad police are getting hip to the game because they're the ones being played.
The worst part of it is that he knew exactly who that child was. She is literally his next door neighbour.
Harvard...Yale...and Princeton all reached out to this smart beautiful little girl. Ha! What the enemy meant for her bad...God turned it around for her good. Good always prevails over evil-racist-ignorant acts! ❤
Yes! Our heavenly Father is so, so good! 😊
@@sshoegirl30004 Yes most definitely!! For He is the Great I Am!🙏
Amen
HE WILL MAKE YOUR ENEMIES YOUR FOOT STOOL ……THESE DEMONS IN HELL WILL NOT PREVAIL GOD HAS THIS MOTHER AND HER DAUGHTER COVERED
@@belindalfrazier6628 Amen🙏🙌
You see the size of that child?!? Truly frightning right?! That poor GROWN man!! God bless the two of them. What an example that mother is to her child. I cannot wrap my brain around that, but that mother handled it with such grace and intelligence. I pray with all my heart that that little girl grows up and achieves all her dreams and more.
Yes!
The mother needs to look into filing charges against the racist white guy for making a false report. Interesting the police did not address that matter. Not sure why they needed to question that little girl without her parent being present. No respect for them either in this case.
He allegedly called her a Black lady. When the cops arrived he had to have known it was all bs.
So much class and elegance in this mother. What a beautiful example for her daughter she is.
Yesss. I was saying so too.. very articulate and intelligent.
Absolutely. Wonderfully said! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I hate when something like this happens and comments are, "Oh! She is so well spoken and she has manners and doesn't pick her teeth!" The low expectations the white public continue to express when they comment as if it is an abnormality to have black people who are well spoken, educated, and human. Whites are to blame for "Survival English" (Ebonics), for their historical abuse and exploitation of Africans who spoke in their own native tongue quite properly.
Barf 🙄 Some more of the same BS, different day!!
@@MiriahV23 why don't you try thinking!! I'm so sick of this crap!!!! Stop feeling sorry for yourself and embrace who you are. Enough GD!!!
There are some really evil hateful people in this world. Black is beautiful.
Period.
Honnnney~ they make me sick, evil bunch of MF’s!
Most of em are White people
Amen
And the Majority of Murder in America is committed by Blacks, White is Wonderful !
She’s a doll baby. So hurtful that grown “adults” would attack our little ones this way. 😢
You mean devils!
She’s just a little girl! What could she possibly do to hurt a grown man? Thank God the officer acted correctly. Congrats to the mom for acting with dignity and standing up.
Wow, a very small child, couldn’t be no more than 50 pounds, who looks about 7/8 years young, out looking for insects. I see how he was šoooo afraid, because she looked like a monster. The neighbor is so disgusting, and he’s the one I would be afraid to live by. He definitely racially profiled this small innocent child. If she had blonde hair and blue eyes and the same tiny size, he wouldn’t have called. He’s the type that keeps racism alive and well!! 😢.
I disagree, the officer did not act correctly. He should NOT be speaking to a minor without the minor's parent being present. But, if you are saying that he didn't shoot first because he was in "fear of his life" or used one of the other numerous excuses to justify the killing of an innocent person, and that he actually used discernment in this case, then I agree.
I assumed he thought the cop would come and shoot the child for existing in "his" space... purely psychotic
It's not about physical harm to a grown man, its about continued destruction of a people.
And it's not all his fault, it's how America was built, how it continues lay its foundation on it, and how America feeds and grows off of it.
Hate... in that simple word, there are so many subspecies of the word that it can be found any many different forms.
Racism, prejudice, murder, poverty, history (His-story), servitude, education, institutionalization, greed, power, control, fear, anger... I can go on and on.
Go outside the walls of America, and exam the viewpoint of many other nations people, you will likely find many of the terms I mentioned and more.
The thing is America cannot stand alone, it needs people at the base of its foundation, the soil, the energy... without people America collapse like many other empires. In turn, the term Hate, to be in America must be within the people.
To make America Great... nevermind again you must be of a people without hate. And that America has never been, and I fear will never be without.
So, the correct term should be, "Strive to Make America Great". You can have that, share, like, and share again until it becomes the norm.
A black women has him scared while he's in the safety of his home and lying to a 911 assistant on his phone. The black women is a 9yr old child. He should be charged and fined for making a false accusation. This type of terrorism will stop when white policemen start upholding the law and not the criminal. Some one else would have given him a reason to need the police.
He was her neighbor so he knew her and still he called the police.
What is wrong with people ? She’s a child ! 🤦🏻♀️
So true
Let's be honest some people don't see black children as children
But she is a black child, they try to do our children.
He meant it.
Folks are wicked they don't care about anyone
To say Bobbi wasn't traumatized by the incident, is dismissive imo. Trauma does not show up right away or manifest itself into someone crying hysterically. Trauma appears when we least expect it. This incident could have stalled her goal of being a scientist. She was born to a mother that stood up for her daughter and I am sure had deep conversations with her daughter about this situation. Throughout our lives, we as black girls and women experience micro aggressions, sometimes passive aggressions on a daily basis. I stopped wearing sun dresses in my area as a teenager after a man, with a child in the back seat solicited me. I was at the bus stop going to college ln a hot day in LA.
Recently, an experience getting intimates, I had maybe 3 bras in my hands and the salesperson askwd me if I wanted her to take them until I was done shopping. I gave them to her but nl one else shopping was asked that. And I have a government job. I make sure to look presentable shopping in more affluent areas because I am a black woman. That wasn't taught to me, although my mother did the same, I learned it drom experience...
That was messy of the salesperson. I think I would ask for a manager or corporate phone #. While they be watching us others be doing the most. I'm glad the officer did his job & didn't let the 911 call Influence him.
I think she will have a very positive experience of the police and community after this 👍
This is spot on, and I’m so sorry you experienced that
That is absolutely disgusting and extremely demeaning
I was hoping that racism had become a thing of the past in the USA
However it appears that this is not the case unfortunately
It's just frightening that had it gone left, he might have felt pride. 👀🥺💙🦋🇺🇲
Based on the call, he was probably hoping for it
All he saw was a Ninja....not a beautiful little girl.....most white people are that way
@@TJwon9457 Yes. He tried to set her up. Evil 🥺💙🦋🇺🇲
What the devil meant for evil, God made it for good. Much success to this young lady whose entire trajectory is on course….UP!
Absolutely!
People who call cops on a small child who was trying to help save trees, deserves a special place in hades.
*_Do police have common sense? Can the police assess the situation before any action is taken?_*
I've called them for serious situations and they wouldn't even barge. But if you say it's a BLACK Person, they suddenly 💸
N0. Brains of a cucumber.
Great point ...sometimes I feel like some police officers need better training to determine when situations need intervention. Also, I think they should start fining people for making false reports.
That's actually what they did.
99.9% of the force do their jobs everyday with integrity, and without incident.
As far as the sissy who called 911... turn in your man card. Shame on you!
PTL!!!
God showed up, and showed out!!! Blessings, blessings, blessings on this family! Great job mama!!! 🥰
She is so adorable and soft spoken. Such a princess. I love the resilience and that she is all smiles. I applaud the mom for advocating for her daughter. Shame on the neighbor for the unwarranted police call and the nerve to say, "Go get her!" Excuse me??!! Disgusting behavior. The neighbor should reach out to a news outlet himself and publicly apologize.
So important to hear stories like this. Thanks mom for doing the hard work of illuminating experiences like this. You are likely saving countless lives.
A too familiar story. A brilliant empathetic child. A proud mother standing up for her. A teachable moment for the community.
I’m sickened by these stories-but glad that it ended well. I’m glad the little girl is protected by her mama.
I can't think of a more beautiful and wholesome thing for a little girl to be doing! I'm so sorry that you experienced such ugliness sweetheart. Love from the UK ❤️
So Archie Bunker call the cops for lantern flies huh.
This young lady is going far in life. Mom, you did a great job. Such a sweet, beautiful little girl. And for the neighbor, who called the cops on her. 🤬🖕🏽
That old man was looking through his window the whole time. “Go get her!” What exactly did he want the officer to do? They are neighbors he’s seen that girl before. A grown woman! Seriously! Naw! He’s a problem, I wouldn’t spit in him if he was on fire. His wife apologized, made him apologize and now he’s the victim. More than flies infest that neighborhood
When people show you who they are, believe them.
We better...I wouldnt leave my child outside by herself in that neighborhood ever again.
@@helloeveryone6679 I agree 100 Percent!
I honestly would sell my home and move before I deprive my child of her freedom to feel safe in that area. No place is 100 % safe, but some areas have geniune decent people who wont do low down nonsense like that. That's next level evil.
That neighbor should be arrested. Who calls the police on someone who clearly looks like a minor
Fear is real and her neighbor lives in it every day. To be compelled as an adult to call the police, hire an attorney on a little girl is fear of change. He or she could have just asked her what she was doing and her beautiful spirit would have shared. Change is like time a mighty stream it can’t be denied. Good luck mom you have a wonderful daughter that will change the world 🌍
@EW Excellent assessment. Just wonderful words. Change and new truths are difficult to absorb. How sad that a black child minding her own business triggered such an inappropriate, excessive reaction in an adult male. Just SMH! When did people stop talking to each other? Neighbors? People waiting in cashier lines? Folks waiting for the bus? Can we no longer nod our heads and say hello? Can we just be kind to each other? Peace.
They have always done that to "PREVENT" change. I am 60 years old and have lived through PLENTY of racism. What was done is not a new thing. This country is ill with racism. Always has been.
He knew who she was, he didnt care 2 cents about that child's spirit or well being.
All of this!
No. This clown is not in "fear." That's a tired excuse and an attempt to justify this kind of abhorrent behavior.
The idiot they live next to lives in HATRED. He lives in HATRED every day. There is no fear. Fear doesn't cause someone to call the cops on a damn child. That behavior is EMBOLDENED.
Nothing about this is fear. This is, as per usual, HATRED. And it must be called out every time and in every situation.
He is Evil and miserable, but God got her back... ❤️❤️❤️
I'm speechless regarding the 911 child. So very thankful Bobbie and her family survived that day. 71 years of sickness
That last look, “Did I do good mommy? ❤❤😊
This hurts my heart because I was her age when my sister and I had a similar experience in a predominately white community. We were approached aggressively by a grown white man who towered over us. We were raised to have manners when speaking to adults so we answered his questions at first but then the questions turn to inquiries we didn't understand- I remember at one moment we looked at each other then decided to run because we became frightened. His body language and energy was so ominous and meanicing we felt danger. We ran straight to our father who was actually having a conversation with the man's wife who had business with my father.
We ran up explaining and describing the man the wife knew immediately who we were referring to and she became angry and started to profusely apologize to my father who was standing with our older sister. My big sister flipped and my father being the gentleman that he was calmed everybody down then the woman brought her husband over to apologize as we were sent away from that adult conversation.
I am 40 now and still carry that moment with me when I am in predominatley white areas- I still feel insecure and ashamed. we were tiny girls too and well dressed with being well mannered but we were still seen as a threat. We were not see as innocent children just skipping along and being happy. Its not only scary for police danger but if he didn't see us as children imagine if one of us was alone with him and he would feel its okay to be a pervert because he perceives us as women and not little girls- its so much that can happen when children are not seen as they are.
I hope this little beautiful girl is not traumatized by this and that neighbor goes to straight to hell in a burning hand basket. Fuq people like him- I don't have forgiveness for them unless they see the errors of their way. I wouldn't be safe living next door to a neaantherthal like that. Hope he moves to a place more suited for his hate.
Thankfully you were both safe! Why would he move when he can make their lives miserable? Unfortunately, there are some that thrive on that type of nonsense - make life difficult for others!
Sorry that you were made to feel that way 😔 I raised my daughter to be respectful to people who were older because I was raised that way as well. But, by the time that my daughter was about 5 yrs old she was a bigger kid for her age I was realizing that the world was changing and people were not into teaching their kids to respect boundaries. I had a neighbor who had a 3 yr old who was small for his age who used to like to hit my daughter. She went to his mother to let her know what was happening and she said so, hit him back! So I then told my daughter if he hit you again to hit his ass back and I let the mom know that if her boy was big enough to hit his ass was big enough to get hit back! Long story short my daughter had to unlearn being respectful which was hard to teach her that!
Sorry you had to experience that. I too experienced something that was so traumatic, I can't even speak about it. Just know you shouldn't feel ashamed around them. You are made in God's image. It's nothing about you, it's all about that person and their hateful soul. Trust me, they will receive their reckogning for all that they have done. God is real.
@@helloeveryone6679 Hello…I am saddened by your trauma however blessed, that you are encouraging someone else. My prayer is that you feel safe to share your story. God can use your testimony as healing for someone else.
@@knowgoodcompany Thank you. I am truly working on it. Maybe someday. 🙏🏾❤️
Imagine living next door to so much hate.
Imagine being on this earth for less than a decade and getting the cops called on you for giving a crap
I'm so proud of Mom and her daughter, maybe the neighbor will get a heart and apologize.
Too late for him. Can't get what he never had. He is a vile and racist human being!
Don't be gullible, white people don't give a fuck!he told them a black woman with a Hoodie on!
Don’t hold your breath ma’am. These devils are pure evil.
He's dangerous!
Such a smart, pretty, Beautiful little girl, oh my! We support you and your efforts. This is a stepping stone; walk right on over it my little sister. Praying for you and your future❤️ KEEP on keeping on❣️
What a beautiful and smart little girl and an amazing mother. So thankful that things turned out the way that it did. I hope this unfortunate and awful event helps someone make a change for the better.
Adorable! Blessings beautiful and hats off to Momma!
Blessings to this family....🤎..I can feel that mothers tears coming up. Dont cry mommy.
He must be seething because his racism inadvertently nade her famous. You mad or nah?
I need that home made solution.
What a lovely little girl, I hope she goes on to do more great things! Be blessed young Queen!
This story brought tears to my eyes because Bobbi was not physically harmed and the incident is leading to awesome opportunities for the little chemist. So proud of Monique and GMA. Thank you
Smh....its 2022...what does this!?! And especially to a innocent child!!! A child!!!!
She is a beautiful child 💖💞💞
honestly, if i saw someone pouring a 'home-made pesticide' on my plants, i would be concerned. However, just got talk to the child. dont call the police!
She's 2 feet tall! With his own eyes, that he uses to see, he couldn't tell it was a child?? Ridiculous. Let's just call a spade, a spade. He feared for his life? Yeah, right.
I wish they would have said what the guy said in the 911 call instead of just alluding to it because I spent the majority of the video being clueless about why the guy called the police.
Then search for the original story
Agreed. I did get a chance to hear the phone call. It's out there. Yes, I agree still 💙🦋🇺🇲
He said there was a black woman who was a threat and likely had a weapon that he was scared of her and needed the police. However he KNEW it was the little girl who lived from across the street and even when the police arrived was pushing them to arrest the girl. Further he's a city council member who purposely tried to weaponize the police against a minor child of his city.
This has to stop. We are all human. God created us all.
The little girl is so sweet. Unfortunate for this to happen 😕 but glad there was a positive outcome. High Five Mom.
Black while catching bugs damn we can't do anything
Her little feet don’t even touch the floor. What threat did she pose? Geez…
Sorry, but I still don't know what the hell the child was supposed to be charged with??????
Charged for being black.
The sentence, a lifetime of harassment.
That's so Wrong of the neighbor, but I'm happy to see that the professor at Harvard understand exactly what Great accomplishments she was doing
Kids are afraid of big dogs and the boogie man. That's not a crime. Just because someone claims to be 'afraid' that doesn't constitute a crime.
She was doing what kids should be doing. Playing outside and exploring nature.
Rascist Trolls are too busy these days. Please stop it Hell is real for those that continue this behavior your Souls are at stake whether you believe it or not. You did not create your own life. Repent .
I can’t wait for them to see God and expect to get into heaven.
The devil always lose against God. He wanted to steal her joy and beautiful light. Anyone can see how special and brilliant she is. Not to mention her beautiful classy mother. It's sad that he was threatened by this 9 year old. This is her time and his days are done.
Once we start giving out fines for using 911 when it’s a non-emergency these kind of calls will slow down.
Lord knows I fear for my children. This man was not scared. He wanted this sweet little girl to be added to the static. May God help us all. It WON'T STOP! 😢
The way Bobby (Bobbi) looks at her mom, Monique. She has an EXCELLENT role model! Talk about someone to look up to!
Denying things don't make it true. He knew that was a child!!!! Thank God the little girl was okay.
That man knew what he was doing. If he can't tell she's a child, put him in a home for people loosing their minds. His actions were nasty, real nasty.
What he meant for bad God turned it around for good. Amen.
Unbelievable. Smh..
Who is the horrible neighbor yelling "Get him" to the officer?? Wow!
This little girl is going places ! Her mom is great! It’s unfortunate that we live in a world of ignorance. This man knew exactly what he was doing. Karma is on its way!
Will she be suing her neighbor? That's all I want to know!
Big deal. There's injustice and unfairness everyday everywhere.
She’s sooo cute 😊 What a sweet young lady. Love her outfit ✨
It’s SO heartbreaking that some neighbors out there would try to set up a child to be harmed by the police. I’m literally in tears!
Thank goodness the officer was wiser and not a racist or blood thirsty.
All Praises!
I’m glad this situation turned into something positive. Shame on that man for doing that!
People who hold this hate in their heart towards another race must understand that they will not enter into the kingdom of heaven by no means unless they repent, turn from their wicked ways, and ask God to deliver them from the generational curses of hate, prejudice, bias, stereotypes, discrimination, etc that has been passed down inside of them from generation to generation (1 Corinthians 6:9-11/NKJV). Many will be shocked when they see Jesus Christ (Yahusha Ha'Mashiach). It's all about love people; loving, helping, and serving others. That's our purpose while we are here on earth. Don't let this day go by without you asking God (YAH) to forgive you of all your sins and to accept His Son, Jesus Christ ( Yahusha Ha'Mashiach) into your life as your only God and Savior. He will help you! 🙏❤️
Jesus:
By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”(John 13:35/NKJV)
“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?”
Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.” (Matthew 22:36-40/NKJV)
I would have filed charges against the neighbor for a false report. And the police should not have talked to the child w/o her parent.
It's beyond sickening how prevalent racism still is accross this planet! For your "neighbor" to do such a thing to a child....Just for EXISTING and simply trying to enjoy nature is mindblowing. After all the countless black ppl killed for innocent situations such as this. (Tamir Rice)
Thankfully something good came from this with all the invitations from Ivy Leauge schools!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
What a cute little genius
These people that waste police time and make false reports need to be charged.
Racist people like her neighbor are intimidated by some like this intelligent girl, especially when they’re young, black, and gifted. This young woman has a bright future ahead of her, and that neighbor could get a harsh life lesson!
What color is the neighbor that called? This is just more grifting and playing victim bs! Typical media
@@RANS87IROCZYou idiots will say and do anything to shut people up about racial injustice. RACISM DIDN'T MAGICALLY VANISH ONCE SLAVERY ENDED. Be less of a douchebag & stop accusing people of lying, you gaslighter.
Nothing but GREATNESS for this young lady to come and don't f**k with a black mom's child. This damn Karens need to be put in jail for the BS. Suppose this cop would have been trigger happy another's black person would be dead 😒. SMGDH
What a wonderful and beautiful girl is Bobby and listening to her mom, it is understandable why the little girl is smart and caring. I hope everyone encourages kids to be curious and knowledgeable, but also brave and always to speak up. I hope shit people like their neighbor becomes more educated and uses more their brains.
I wouldn’t trust that neighbor after that. Keep all your doors and windows closed
The neighbor is racist.
So are the Majority of Blacks making their Anti White Comments here. If a Black Man Called the Police on a White Girl you would NEVER hear about it. The Left Wing Media wants a race war and they only promote this to makes Blacks Angry. Look at all the Hateful Comments about Whites in the comments for proof. Anti White Propaganda is everywhere thanks to the Left !
Thank you for standing up for your daughter...and our sons and daughters🤎🖤
I think in this case they should name and shame the complainant. People will think twice before making these bs phone calls to the police.
does anyone have suggestions of affluent black family neighborhoods in nj?
Princeton! I absolutely love it. My family only had the cops called on us once by a neighbor for going outside and gazing at the solar eclipse. The cop did a great job and used common sense and didn't interrogate us when he realized we were right in front of our property.
Bobbie is TOO adorably cute. Just too cute.,
Late to the party but I Love the new guy! Hope they keep him permanently
Mother and child both beautiful, inside and out.
“Go get her” wow.
Every BLACK person who heard this story when it happened knew and knows that so called "neighbor" was attempting to weaponize the police. His real desire was/is to frighten that black home owner into LEAVING the neighborhood. That is why he didn't apologize. He is probably angry that his NASTY scheme DIDN'T work.
Both Bobbi and her mother are beautiful cultured people.Good for them .And all those Ivy schools reaching out to her, you have a far way to go baby.
It’s time to bring TJ and Amy back, no one really cares about their personal business, they do a great job, enough of this already. People need to mind their own business. What would we find if we dug in your closet?
Theses terrible people are the worse. Im sorry this baby has to deal with that racist
Side note, seems like GMA try to find host that look similar to TJ and Amy.
Back to the story. Some people are just devious, calling the police on that little girl was just hateful.
Praying for a bright future for Bobbi! Excellent job mom!
So sick of the KAREN’s I don’t know what to do! 😡😡
That's why i have trust issues.
She doesn't have to wait till she grows up, she's already a scientist! Glad her determination and appreciation for nature is being fostered more than it is questioned!!
Lightening bugs?. You can't go out and catch lightening bugs anymore.. that was one of favorite things ti do as a child
Calling the police on that little girl is sick
My 5 year old son was profiled in the grocery store because he had his hamster in a bucket the. Manager thought he was stealing and I embarrassed the ish outa his pale azz and got him fired..Mr Winn-Dixie
No that cop didn’t!!! He should have located the parent!🤨😖
Good job Mom and especially for going to the town meeting And bringing attention to the fact that racism and profiling are definitely wrong all the time...
When will this end? Stop being intimidated by us! Majority of us are great people if you get to know us! Stop assuming the stereotypes are what we are bc we’re not! We’re hardworking and providing for our families just like y’all.
