On the morning of 26 July 2024, Pinelands High School was notified of a video circulating on social media.
The mother also claimed to have brought previous acts of racist bullying against her son to the school's attention (such as being called a "n****rbob" and being told to "go and eat chicken feet", among other things) but the school had not attempted to deal with it.
