Khoury, who appeared with his mother and stepfather, talked to the hosts about why he thinks this all started. "They were messing with me because I'm one of the smallest ones and, when we first moved to the area, they saw my mom was African and they made fun of my mom a lot," Khoury said.
The teen said he's hoping that someone will step in next time something like this happens and call the police. In this case, police said witnesses did nothing to help.
The seven suspects, who attend the an alternative high school for troubled students, remain in police custody for psychiatric and risk evaluation.
After talking about his difficult experience, Khoury got the surprise of his life – Desean Jackson, Todd Herremans and Jamaal Jackson came on stage to meet the young man.
Desean Jackson even gave him the jersey off his back and autographed it for him.
The Eagles players said they ‘had his back' in case anything bad happened to him again.
