A group of teens forced a woman to miscarry with a brutal attack after she and her husband dared to stray onto a Chicago street that the youths claimed as their own.
The 41-year-old mother was returning home with her husband from a date night on Friday when they were surrounded by at least 10 young people in the city's notorious Streeterville neighborhood.
The woman, who gave her name only as Nina, told Fox32 that she was pepper-sprayed in the face, kicked in the stomach and lost a clump of hair as her husband was held back by the mob.
Police arrived at the scene and arrested a 14-year-old boy and a 17-year-old girl. The pair were each charged with one count of misdemeanor battery and released pending court appearances.
'They didn't steal anything. They said like, "we own the street, we own the street. You can't just walk around prancing in your little dress".
'They were saying things that just didn't make any sense to me because they don't know me.'

Scott Adams was right.
This is where a 9, with a 15-17 round mag comes in handy!
Just need 8 in a mag, carry a spare, but it’ll do the job much better.
So “teens”
Yup, those wacky teens again.
Streeterville is not "notorious." Its one of the most expensive areas in the city, home to $million condos along the Chicago River, close to the upscale Michigan Ave, expensive restaurants, etc...
Its thugs coming and going from the Navy Pier or hanging out along the river-walk, smoking pot.
In a better world, they wouldn't be charged with anything.
You don't file charges against a corpse ...
The problem with that in Chicago is that you will be almost certainly tried and convicted of hurting or killing a privileged minority and will be DOA shortly after checking into Hotel Graybar.
So, no punishment.
Should be attempted murder, and possible murder since the baby was miscarried.
I wonder if those wealthy residents of Streeterville will look at gating or walling off their neighborhood.
Seeing this in California more and more and it looks like all new developments now are gated, with 24-hour guards - and they brag about it in the sales info.
Probably right. It’s probably best just to avoid the place then. Last time I drove across the US, going from Nova Scotia to Alberta, I went well around Chicago.
So what happened to the much hyped “Summer of Safety” rolled out before Memorial Day by the mayor and police chief? We were assured that would take care of the problem.
Chicago, like Mexico, is not on my bucket list of places to visit. Heck, downtown L.A. is not on that list either.
No, Scott Adams was stupid.
He thinks the skin pigment melanin somehow gets together with itself and then plots to commit violence, theft and other behavioral problems.
Being minors, nothing will ever happen to them.
This needs to stop.
Even during the 1800’s a minor would be hung for murder.............
I think that's happening in South Africa, as well.
I guess that couple thought they had chosen a safe area to spend a little leisurely time outside.
Same with Memphis, TN
Scott’s entitled to his opinion.
Certain neighborhoods in Philadelphia too. To be avoided at all costs.
