A viral video that ignited a social media firestorm and led to widespread condemnation of a Minnesota mother is now facing serious scrutiny—not only because of the woman in the video, but also because of the man who filmed it.
Shiloh Hendricks, the mother seen in a now-deleted video allegedly calling a child the N-word after he reportedly stole her 18-month-old son’s diaper bag, has raised nearly $500,000 through a GiveSendGo fundraiser to protect her family amid escalating threats, harassment, and doxxing.
According to Hendricks’ fundraising campaign:
“My name is Shiloh and I have been put into a very dire situation. I recently had a kid steal from my 18month old sons diaper bag at a park. I called the kid out for what he was. Another man, who we recently found out has had a history with law enforcement, proceeded to record me and follow me to my car. He then posted these videos online which has caused my family, and myself, great turmoil. My SSN has been leaked. My address, and phone number have been given out freely. My family members are being attacked. My eldest child may not be going back to school. Even where I exercise has been exposed.
I am asking for your help to assist in protecting my family. I fear that we must relocate. I have two small children who do not deserve this. We have been threatened to the extreme by people online. Anything will help! We cannot, and will not live in fear!
UPDATE: Where do I even begin?? The overwhelming support that my family and myself have received is unbelievable! I’ve never felt so scared, yet reassured in my life. It’s truly a whirlwind of emotions!
We are currently doing okay. No one has been harmed, and we are getting by. We are taking the proper procedures in order to stay safe from these constant threats. I’m still very frightened, and I don’t think I will feel safe until we can escape completely.
I am so grateful to all of you who have donated to my family. I never would have imagined that we would be supported to such an extreme. It still feel as if it’s too good to be true, and it’s all going to disappear. It’s such a strange feeling to be living in a blissful dream and a nightmare simultaneously.
Thank you all for your continuous support and love. We have to keep fighting for the safety of all our families, not just mine.”
The City of Rochester and Democrat officials were quick to condemn Hendricks, with Mayor Kim Norton and local NAACP leaders piling on the outrage and urging charges against her. The Rochester Police Department launched an investigation into the video.

The video, which triggered an avalanche of backlash, was recorded by Sharmake Beyle Omar — a man who local left-wing officials and media eagerly applauded for confronting Hendricks.
“Kids at the park were frightened, obviously the lady she was very angry and very loud, a lot of racial slurs. Not just my kids, other kids on the playground and their parents were frightened too,” Omar told KIMT News 3.
More from the news outlet:
Sharmake Omar says the 5-year-old boy is a child his kids play with at the park. Omar says he filmed a woman calling the boy a racial slur at Roy Sutherland Playground near Soldiers Field Memorial Park.

Omar says he’s reported the video to police. In the video, filmed Monday, the woman—who’s been identified as Shiloh Hendrix—can be heard shouting the N-word multiple times.
When Omar confronts her about it, Hendrix doubles down, saying she’ll call him one if he, quote, “acts like it.” She then repeats the slur several times.
Hendrix claims the boy took her 18-month-old son’s diaper bag, which Omar doesn’t believe is true. While he couldn’t say with complete confidence he recalls the 5-year-old grabbing a toy near the bag.
Omar says he has been getting death threats since the video went viral. His information has been posted online, and he is concerned for his safety. He says since his own children were with him at the park, their well-being may also be at risk.

However, Omar has a disturbing past of his own, including being arrested for criminal sexual conduct with a minor.
KIMT News 3 reported that 30-year-old Omar, of Rochester, was previously charged with third-degree and fifth-degree criminal sexual conduct in 2022.
The charges stem from allegations that Omar and another man named Mohamed Hussein Omer, engaged in sexual activity with an underage girl who had run away from her foster care assignment in Farmington, Minnesota.
According to KAALTV, the 16-year-old girl reported to law enforcement that she was sexually assaulted by multiple men in the Rochester area.
KIMT News 3 further reported that when medical personnel examined the victim, she was found to be severely sleep-deprived, dehydrated, and had not eaten in some time.
However, in March 2025, the Olmsted County Attorney’s Office dismissed all charges against both Omar and Omer.
Court records indicate the case was dropped “in the interest of justice.”
