A Minnesota woman accused of using a racial slur against a 5-year-old child has received more than $600,000 in donations to "protect" her family for the ongoing backlash she received on the internet.
The woman was recorded holding her son, moments after she allegedly called a a young boy with autism the N-word for "digging through" her son's backpack at Soldiers Field Park in Rochester last week, the Post Bulletin reported.
"That gives you the right to call the child, 5 years old, the N-word?" the man recording the video asked the woman in a clip circulating online.
"If that's what he's gonna act like," she responded.
"You know that's hate speech," the man said.
"I don't give a s--t. F--k off," the woman added as she continued storming around the park, after repeating the racial slur several times.

Shortly after the video went viral, a woman named Shiloh Hendrix created a fundraiser on GiveSendGo, originally seeking $250,000 in donations "to assist in protecting" her family.
"I called the kid out for what he was," Hendrix wrote, alleging her social security number, address and phone number had been leaked as a result of the video. "My family members are being attacked. My eldest child may not be going back to school. Even where I exercise has been exposed," she continued.
Hendrix wrote she feared she and her two young children would have to relocate because they were being "threatened to the extreme by people online."
"Anything will help! We cannot, and will not live in fear!" Hendrix added.
As of May 5, she has raised more than $650,000 and bumped her goal to $1 million. Some of the top donors' names include "White Lives Matter," "We need to come together," "Nate Higgers," and "Black Fatigue is Real."
