'George Floyd Challenge': Ohio Man Arrested For Kneeling On 2-Year-Old's Neck

A 20-year-old Ohio man was arrested after a photo of him kneeling on the neck of a two-year-old boy went viral on social media.

Isaiah Jackson shared the photo as part of a challenge that mimicked the incident involving the death of George Floyd, an African-American who died on Memorial Day after a former Minnesota police officer placed his knee on the victim's neck for nearly nine minutes.

Jackson's stunt is part of the "George Floyd Challenge" that is circulating on social media. Several people have since been arrested for replicating the stunt, including 37-year-old Keriann Smith, who pinned her 14-year-old son to the floor and asked him, “Do you want to know how George Floyd died?” However, Smith was not part of the "George Floyd Challenge".

Three teens in the United Kingdom were also taken into custody when they joined in the “George Floyd Challenge,” the New York Post reported.

The Clark County Sheriff's Office became aware of the viral photo Tuesday, July 21. It showed Jackson kneeling on the neck of a "crying white toddler" who wore nothing but a diaper. A second person holds the child's arms, while a banner reads, "Blm now mf."

Authorities were able to determine the location of the photo and contacted the mother and child, as well as Jackson after two divisions of the Sheriff's Office initiated an investigation, the department said in a Facebook post.

Police also discovered Jackson has a Parole Authority holder from the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction. He was then arrested and incarcerated at the Clark County Jail.

The boy in the photo was transported to a local hospital where he was found to have no injuries related to the incident. The relationship between Jackson and the child's mother, who claimed she was "unaware of the photo having been taken," was unknown.

Jackson is waiting for the County Prosecutor "to provide a determination on the scope and breadth of the felony charges that will be supported by that office for presentation in court," Fox News Reported.

A local school board is also conducting an investigation after one of their special needs teachers posted a comment on Jackson's photo.

CBS46 said the DeKalb County Schools District administrators were "made aware of the disturbing social media post" and were now investigating the allegations pinned on Cedar Grove High School Interrelated Teacher Brian Papin.

Papin wrote on Facebook, "Again! You're doing it wrong! One knee on center of the back one on the neck and lean into it until death! You saw the video! Get it right or stop f---ing around!"
