Adam Johansson, one of the parents, told CBS L.A. that three suspects attacked the teens in the bathroom.

David Leif, another one of the teens’ parents, told the station that the suspect slammed one of the boys’ heads onto the ground and kicked him in the head.

The suspects also took off with the boys’ jewelry, IDs and phones.

Johansson told the station there needs to be accountability.

“I want our community back. I want Los Angeles back to the way it used to be,” he said. “We have to hold whether it's Westfield accountable [or] elected officials accountable. Crime and violence have to be dealt with."

The Los Angeles Police Department as well as the Westfield mall is are investigating.
