During a meeting with Wayland Public School leaders and the Middlesex District Attorney, the mother of the student targeted in the latest hate incident called on the district to do better in a powerful message. Other frustrated parents packed into the meeting at the Wayland Community Center Monday night.

"It is a heart-wrenching experience to witness your child subjected to such hate," said the student's mom through tears. "Our hearts ache for my son and others who look like him."

The mom, who did not want her name published, thought her 16-year-old was safe at school. But she says the junior was targeted with a disturbing display found in the locker room - a yellow plastic "children at play" sign wearing his football jersey hanging from the ceiling with a belt around its neck.
