MILWAUKEE - An 11-year-old boy was charged Wednesday with raping a 76-year-old neighborhood woman in her home as three of his friends stood watch.

Police said that for a week before the attack, the boys had been "terrorizing" the woman in her house, repeatedly breaking in and taking cash and other items.
The woman, who lived alone, told police she was taking a sponge bath in the kitchen Friday when the 11-year-old walked in, demanded money and then ordered her to take off her clothes and go into the bedroom, according to court papers.
The boy's brother, a 13-year-old who was among the three other boys also charged, said he heard the woman say: "I'm just an old, half-crippled lady, I'm not going."
The woman said the 11-year-old put on a condom and tried to rape her, followed by a second boy.
The 11-year-old was charged in juvenile court with sexual assault and being a party to burglary and criminal trespassing. The other boys ages 11, 12 and 13 were charged with being a party to burglary and criminal trespassing.
In court Wednesday, the 11-year-old facing the less serious charges called out, "Hi, Mom" after spotting his adoptive mother.
"I'm very hurt because my son was raised as a good boy," she said outside court. She complained that police abused the boys to obtain confessions.
The apple of her eye I'm sure
Sad to say but milwaukee's inner city has become a wasteland with little respect for other human beings. Group beatings (including the beating death of a mentally disabled man) to the point of death have become all too common there.
The overall murder rate has apparently gone down there, but the crimes have sunk to a new level of viciousness.
Another "parent of the year" award nominee,,for the adoptive mom.
Just damn.
If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...
It's too bad they aren't able to beat the sh!t out of them, cuz that's what they deserve at the very least. Mama must be proud.
The lad appears to have taken Ben Franklin's advice to the extreme.
THIS KID WASN'T 'RAISED' AT ALL.
Why can't this 'mother' be imprisoned for her utter failure as a parent and a human being?
Public school sex-ed at its finest. "Just use a condom and everything will be alright."
The kid needs a serious beating, then another one every day for the next 5 or 6 years.
looks like he didn't forget what he learned in sex ed that day. Did he think he would get her pregnant or something?
Good to see government schooling is having some positive impact.
Sponge bath? Huh!?
Then it goes on to talk about rape...sick!
My gosh, kid got the idea from school no doubt. Public School freebie condoms. ..
Following "good guys" (Sarcasm.) such as:
John Kerry--traitor.
Dan Rather--phoney.
Bill Clinton--philanderer.
Please add other names.
Just one question, how do you take a sponge bath with your clothes on.???
he needs to have his johnson riped off and tossed into the scrap bucket sick little freak
11 years old? How does an 11 year old boy know about sex? And where did he get the condom? I bet the condom was too big for the boy.
Geez.
Just one question, how do you take a sponge bath with your clothes on.
I will show you
