Surveillance video from a store has cleared a young black child who was accused of groping a white woman at a Brooklyn corner store.
As you can clearly see below, the child — at worst — slightly bumped the white woman at the counter, since dubbed #CornerstoreCaroline on Twitter:

Even better, she was there for the big reveal. Whoops:
Days after a white woman #cornerstorecaroline accused a black child of touching her, she returned to the deli where the incident happened to watch surveillance @news12bk #brooklyn #flatbush pic.twitter.com/52o3KGsNAY

And this is why the “believe all women” narrative is fatally flawed. Thank God there was video here:
Luckily there's a video to show the kid at worst innocently brushed her, if even that. But often there isn't a video. This is why we don't just accept all such accusations as true without corroboration. https://t.co/X2nZdtpnLp

The women in the video had called 911 to report the child to police, but no report was taken:
Video completely vindicates the child. Deli owner told me the woman has a history of being “unwell.”
Also – despite many thinking she was bluffing, she actually did call 911 & cops responded to the scene 17 minutes later.
Report was never filed as everyone left.

Video of the woman ranting at the child and the child’s babysitter went viral earlier in the week:
This white woman calling the cops on a 9-year-old Black boy to accuse him of "sexual assault" for brushing up against her in a crowded grocery store aisle.
I am done. Absolutely done!

Another woman was caught on camera coming to the young boy’s defense:
Another white woman got in her face.
This woman is an Epitome of an ALLY! This is an ALLY!
Don’t say you’re an ally, BE an ally!

The woman, when confronted at her apartment, then called the cops on reporters:
UPDATE: Spoke to the woman who called police on a child. Her name is Theresa (the internet has dubbed her #cornerstorecaroline )
She called the cops on me and another reporter. @PIX11News pic.twitter.com/ugmnUX3cqf

She seems unwell, to put it mildly:
And now the NYPD has arrived to the woman’s – who the internet has dubbed #cornerstorecaroline – home after she claimed me and another reporter were harassing her and threatening her with violence. @PIX11News pic.twitter.com/9tAFA5qp8j
