HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Houston police say there is no evidence to support the claims made by a teenager that white supremacists abducted him, injured him and threatened him.
We first brought you this story last month when 13-year-old Zavion Parker claimed he was grabbed by an adult and four young men after stepping off his school bus.
Zavion alleges he was robbed and beaten, all because of his race. He also said he was held at a property at gunpoint until he was able to escape.
Michelle Lee, the teen's mother, told Eyewitness News her son managed to escape the gun-wielding kidnappers.
"The reason why they got him was because they said he was black. 'You deserve to die.' Exactly his words," Lee told ABC13 in May. "Saying the dad had, like, a white muscle shirt on, and you could see it, was right here big as day. 'I hate black people.'"
But after a thorough investigation, the Houston Police Department now says the events as described did not occur, that the property Parker described had nothing to do with any crime.

I wonder...
Why would a 13-year-old kid do this?
********************************************
Because making up HOAX hate crimes is now de rigueur in his community to claim victimhood status. Its SOP.

He has the makings of an NFL player who does not stand for the flag and anthem.

To make up a story like that, he at least has a greater imagination.

This kid needs to go to a Juvenile detention center before he turns into a first rate criminal. The mother needs counseling as well.

When you falsely accuse someone of something, you need to go to jail for as long as the unjustly accused person would have gone. No exceptions.

This kid has a great future ahead of him as a race hustler.

I would hate the world also, if my babymomma named me Zavion.

Why would a 13-year-old kid do this?
Very often, kids make up stories so they will not get in trouble for something else. Something as banal as not getting home on time.
I would ask the 13-year-old if he was worried about getting in trouble.

That’s because people will remember the hype but not the truth.
The important thing is not that he lied. It’s that White Supremacists are kidnapping scores of African American children and the only thing that will stop it is free government money.

Based on these ridiculous-sounding allegations, I'd say the odds were next to zero from the get-go of this being true.

I thought of that. But there are better, simpler stories that wouldn’t involve so much complication for a kid.
And mom looked quite prepared for the cameras.

Betcha he went on a crack binge and needed a story to keep from getting frowned at when he went home.
