Moment where Jace Lee-eury, 11, has soda poured on him by North Carolina apartment manager Kim Jennings before she slaps him for using a resident pool — as mom says, ‘This is child abuse’

A white apartment complex manager has been arrested after a shocking video showed her beating and pouring soda into black children who used the facility’s pool.

Kim Jennings, 62, of Greensboro, North Carolina, was taken into police custody on Aug. 3 after being called to the Sedgefield Garden Apartments for reports of an attack.

In the viral video, Jennings can be seen spraying soda on Jace Lee-Eury, 11, and hitting him in the face with the bottle just outside the residents-only pool.

She was charged with two counts of assault against a child under the age of 12. Jace told local media that she also pulled his little sister’s hair during the incident.

The woman said she was furious with the children who have been there before and do not live in the complex, but that she “should have handled things differently.”

“I had a soda in my hand and I threw it at him, and then I popped him. I did it, I admit I did it, and it was wrong,” Jennings said WFMY.

“If you did it and you did it and you did it and you asked him not to come back. I just responded. But I will say I’m sorry I did,” she said.

The young boy, identified by his family as 11-year-old Jace Lee-eury, told WFMY that Jennings never told them they couldn’t go back to the pool

The video lit up social media over the weekend with hundreds of people joining in.

According to the police, they spoke to the two children and their parents about the abuse upon arrival at the apartment complex.

The police determined that an assault had taken place and obtained an arrest warrant.

Jace told WFMY that Jennings never told them they couldn’t go back to the pool.

“She said not to come back this time. The other time she never said not to come back, so we kept going,” Jace said.

Robert Lee-eury, Jace’s father, said that the pool is near their house and that is why the children went to cool off that day.

“Grandma let them go to the pool because it’s literally right in the middle of the next complex through the field, less than a two minute walk,” said Robert.

However, Jennings says she had told the children in the past to leave and not return and was met with disrespect.

“The other day, when he was out there, we asked him to leave, and he had a mouth,” she said.

“You don’t have to put your hands on someone’s child. It’s not your responsibility,” said Robert Lee-eury, Jace’s father (right) “There’s another way to go about it”

Jace’s parents said they understood Jennings’ message but disagreed with how she handled the situation.

“This is child abuse,” said Joella Lee, Jace’s mother.

“You don’t have to put your hands on someone’s child. It’s not your responsibility,’ Robert said. “There’s another way to go about it.”

According to Jace, Jennings also pulled his little sister’s hair, prompting him to throw a bottle at her to get her to stop. Then the soda incident started.

The parents have enlisted the legal help of several prominent lawyers, including Ben Crump and Jason L. Keith.

In a tweet, Crump called for accountability from the apartment complex’s manager.

“She has been arrested on two simple assault charges – now she must be held fully responsible for her attack on these children,” the lawyer wrote.

Dozens of supporters gathered outside the complex on Friday to show their support for the family.

Jennings has a lawsuit in September in Greensboro.

The apartment complex’s manager says the owners are supporting her after the incident.

Residents supported Jennings as they spoke to WFMY, saying they felt the children disobeyed her request to leave “disrespectfully.”

A few days after the incident, graffiti was found on a shed near the apartment complex.

Jennings told the outlet she planned to report the vandalism to the police.
