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.

Could this be one of the reasons so many are pro choice?

Just one question, how do you take a sponge bath with your clothes on.???

If they send this monster to where he belongs, he'll be trying damn hard to figure out how to do that himself.

NOT a script out of 'Red Shoes Diary.'

Actually, (knowing this was a rhetorical question), I tend to wonder if some people are pro-choice because we all know each other's vices and "evils" too well. The tactic of reminding people of human faults, evils, etc... is a tactic used by PETA and Greenpeace to those who do not know any better

Public school sex-ed at its finest. "Just use a condom and everything will be alright."

LMAO. Sad but true.

Well, to be fair, she's his adoptive mother. The kid was quite possibly screwed up long before he was adopted. One of the network stations around here airs segments every week showcasing some kid in need of adoption, and more often than not, they're inner city kids taken out of their homes because of abuse, neglect, drug use on the part of their parents, etc. Not that that excuses the adoptive mother's failing to keep tabs on the kid, but still...

Wow...when I was 11 I barely knew what rape was...and even less about how it was actually done.

Milwaukee is of course becoming a strict gun free zone...

On the other hand had the woman defended herself with a dog or a gun
she would be in jail tonight..

The boys will spend time in the Ethan Allen School for boys...learn better gang skills
They will be out in little time...and worse for the wear..

The traumatized woman...no one will care about....the state will spend all kinds of tax payers
dollars wasted on the kids...

The rapist should be executed...

imo

Hello?

He made repeated attempts and she could not fight him off?

Couldn't do ANYTHING, like get a male relative to stay with her?

This stinks....

My grandmother lives by herself, but it's a very big house and the family lives downstairs and she's upstairs. Sometimes she does get a male relative to sleep upstairs with her. She also sleeps with a cutlass just in case. An aged woman should not be by herself.

not really. A male relative may not have been around for her. programs like meals on wheels and volunteer visits to homebound elderly exist b/c many sr citizens do not have anybody anymore for whatever reason.

Hello,

This child knew (according the article) to put on a condom, but did not know that rape is wrong?

Pardon me while I puke, cry and pray all at the same time.

Glad to be here (despite the topic), MOgirl
