*Talk about some made up mess. Just like the kids mother said and most believed, a white woman, dubbed by the internet as ‘Cornerstore Caroline” has been proven completely wrong for calling the cops and accusing a 9-year-old black boy of groping her butt.
Via released surveillance footage, the youngster has been proven to be 100% innocent.
In the video, you can see Teresa Klein standing at the counter of the Sahara Deli Market in Flatbush (Brooklyn) on Wednesday, paying for two bags of cat litter, as the boy walked past her to exit the store, followed by his mother and little sister. The boy was carrying a backpack and a large plastic bag from Cookie’s department store across the street, and the bag appears to brush against Klein as he passes.
At that point Klein immediately turns around and starts going at the family.
“He was walking out with his mom and accidentally brushed up against her. His mother was right behind him,” a deli worker told the Post on Friday.
Cellphone footage of the ensuing encounter, in which Klein called police on the boy while he bawled, went viral this week, earning Klein the nickname “Cornerstore Caroline,” an apparent reference to the moniker given to some other white women who called the cops on African-Americans over apparently minor incidents.
