A mother and her 9-year-old son have been relocated to a new home following an attack earlier this week near a Southeast Side school that has gained attention from City Hall.

The 33-year-old woman and her son were walking in the 10600 block of South Bensley Avenue in the South Deering neighborhood about 3:10 p.m. Monday when a group approached and struck them multiple times, according to Chicago police. Following the attack, which took place about two blocks northwest of Orville T. Bright Elementary School, the woman and boy were transported to Advocate Trinity Hospital, where they were initially listed in serious condition, police said.
