I changed the name of the title of the article since Robert W. Welch and his wife wasn't just berating a teenage girl and her friends, they were straight up using racial slurs towards these teenage girls, threatening them, harassing and stalking them in a car. I'm providing the link to the story below and the three links are the video links.
Her 13-year-old daughter and three friends were making videos jumping over things as they walked to the store. As one of the kids jumped over a lawn sign, his toe caught the sign. At that point, a man and woman emerged from the house where the sign was hit and began to yell at the four juveniles, using racial slurs, threatening them and telling them they know officers in the North Tonawanda Police Department.
During the video, a man identified as Welch is heard yelling at the youths and using a racial slur. A photo of him at the scene is posted along with a photo of a woman who can also can be heard on the video yelling and shouting at the the youths. She works for North Tonawanda schools, she said on the video.
The incident continued to evolve, and at one point the adults reportedly got in their car and began to follow the youths, said Morano. That part is not caught on the video.

(15,951 posts)That must've been terrifying to these young kids.
I hope something comes of it besides just his termination.

(7,649 posts)Although, now since I'm digging around I see this being mentioned about trying to drag one of the girls into their car. I'm hoping the NTPD are taking this case seriously and are investigating. The woman (I'm not sure of her name) is a Teacher's Aide and as far as I know is till on paid leave from the Covid-19 pandemic.
