Toddler “Thug” Has Been Shot at; 17-Year-Old Father Killed

The toddler from Omaha whose video has gone viral has reportedly been shot at in the past. In the video, the 2-year-old is taunted and cursed at by adults, who get him to use obscene language. The video of the boy has since sparked debate about the culture of gang violence in America.

The toddler’s family has a history of violence. His 17-year-old father was killed last spring in what police said appeared to be a gang-related shooting. His grandmother was arrested last month after five guns were found in the house. She now sits in jail facing a weapons charge.

His grandfather was sent to prison last year, convicted of a weapons charge. The little boy who was taunted by adults to utter profanities for an online video has grown up in a chaotic and troubling home environment, according to Douglas County court records.

Authorities removed the boy from the home this week, along with his 17-year-old mother and two other children. The children were placed in protective custody because relatives continually allowed known gang members into the house, according to court records. A caseworker said in a petition that adults did not provide a safe environment for the children.

The family had been targeted in two drive-by shootings before receiving help from Nebraska Families Collaborative, the caseworker said. On Oct. 2, someone opened fire on the front door of their home. The toddler, his mother and two aunts were inside. The boy was wounded in the foot by a piece of shrapnel. A bullet hit the boy’s mother in the shoulder.

If you have yet to see the video of the cursing toddler, then you may watch it in the video above.
