Warning: Story contains disturbing details

MIAMI — Miami police say a group of boys took a 12-year-old girl to a community garden in the city’s Overtown neighborhood as one of them raped her for 30 minutes.

Authorities said Jusiah Jones, 12, shoved rocks in the girl’s mouth so she couldn’t scream while Nelson Nunez, 13, sexually assaulted her.

A third boy, Xavier Tyson, is accused of participating as well; he was 14 at the time.

While police arrested them on juvenile charges the next day, all three are now charged as adults following a grand jury indictment issued on Wednesday. Court records show they were booked into the Metrowest Detention Center on Thursday and Jones and Nunez appeared in adult bond court on Friday, where a judge ordered them held without bond.

Tyson, now 15, was initially believed Friday to be charged solely as a juvenile, but Miami-Dade prosecutors confirmed that afternoon that he was indicted on adult charges as well.

Police said a fourth boy witnessed the incident.

According to the Miami Police Department, the rape happened at The Green Haven Project community garden, located at 1160 NW Second Ave., near Frederick Douglass Elementary School.

Well, there is that Middle East war that started about 21 hours ago.

It’s not just you, it’s all of us. Slow down, take a deep breath, try to remember what it was like with a 9600 baud modem. And we were glad to git it!

Not sure. I dont think they ever go after parents regardless what sex the juveniles are. The girls who murdered their female classmate, they didnt go after their parents.

I think when its more like property crimes they can be gone after for compensation, sometimes. If they have no money theres no point.

Theres a point where theres a line between what can be considered something you can go after a parent for, and where it becomes something totally on the minor as an individual. Crimes like murder and rape, unless the parents are involved or enabling it, are considered to be crimes solely on the person committing them. The parents cant watch their kids 24/7/365 and know whats going on in their heads.

“Why aren’t their parents charged?”

My thought exactly - just like recent cases where parents were charged with allowing their somewhat abnormal kids access (or even buying) them guns.
Don’t want be called racist, but this is like letting a viscous pit bull run free. Leash laws for those who can’t control their dogs.

“Also, near Frederick Douglass Elementary School. Booker T. Washington Senior High School is also nearby. And the Historic Black Police Precinct Courthouse and Museum.”

They need to worry less about “black” and focus more on acting human. Color isn’t everything.
