President Biden responds to possible hate crime attack on child in North Texas

DALLAS- President Joe Biden condemned a Attack on a 3-year-old girl from Euless, who was almost drowned by a woman in the pool of an apartment complex; the act is said to have been racially motivated.

“I am deeply concerned about the reports of a attempted drowning of a three-year-old Palestinian American at a neighborhood swimming pool,” Biden said on his official @POTUS account on X. “No child should ever be subjected to a violent attack, and my sincere condolences go out to the family.”

The President referred to an incident from 19 May in an apartment complex off Highway 360 in Euless when a 42-year-old woman allegedly attempted to drown the child because of her family’s ethnicity.

Euless Police responded to the disturbance at the apartment complex’s community pool.

The victim’s mother, who wears a headscarf, told officers that another woman, identified as 42-year-old Elizabeth Wolf, asked her where she was from and made comments about her not being American.

Wolf then allegedly grabbed the woman’s six-year-old son, who managed to break free. According to police, she then chased the three-year-old girl, dragged her into the pool and tried to push her under water.

Witnesses intervened; the girl remained physically unharmed.

Wolf was arrested for public intoxication at the time of the incident and was later charged with assault on a child and attempted capital crime. She was released from jail on bail within a day.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations, also known as CAIR, is calls for state and federal Hate crime investigation launched in this case.

The Tarrant County District Attorney confirmed Monday morning that he has the details of the case and is reviewing them.
