Flatbush, Brooklyn resident, Teresa Sue Klein aka Cornerstore Caroline causes commotion after falsely accusing 9 year old black boy of sexually assaulting her.

Raising questions of allegations of sexual misconduct gone awry is the episode of Cornerstone Caroline, a white woman who was caught on video calling police on a black child after the 9 year old boy was accused of ‘grabbing’ the woman’s back side outside a Brooklyn bodega. Allegations which seemingly came out of thin air.

‘I want the cops here right now!’ the woman, who identified herself as a Flatbush resident-Teresa Klein, is heard demanding over the phone. ‘The son grabbed my a– and she decided to yell at me.’

A crowd starts to form outside the Sahara Deli as Klein, donning sunglasses and knee-high boots, continues to yell loudly into her phone, as frustrated residents implore her to ‘go home.’

The child can be seen wailing outside the bodega as the crowd tries to comfort him and come to his defense.

Teresa Sue Klein over- reaching: Has the #metoomovement reached hysteria levels?

‘Nobody wants to touch your flat a–,’ one woman announces. Another person branded the accuser ‘Cornerstore Caroline,’ an apparent reference to other recent viral videos of white women — ‘Barbecue Becky,’ ‘Permit Patty’ — calling the police on African-Americans over seemingly minor incidents.

At one point, Klein appears to realize she’s causing a spectacle, telling the crowd: ‘White lady calls the cops on black lady, I get it.’

Another white woman also walks up to confront her- only for the two to almost come to blows.

Bystander, Jason Littlejohn, who filmed and posted the now-viral video on Wednesday, claimed the boy was being falsely accused. Security camera footage from inside the bodega appears to show that the child never groped her. At worst, he brushed against her with his backpack as he walked past her with his mom.

Wednesday’s incident along with putting African Americans further on guard as to the supposed complicity of egregious behavior simply on the color of the skin has also raised questions of the #metoomovement seemingly entering hysteria levels- at what cost?
