Two children, ages 9 and 10, are facing serious charges including attempted murder and rape after a brutal attack on a 5-year-old girl in Cleveland, Ohio.
According to Cuyahoga County prosecutors, the two children have been charged in connection with the assault that occurred last month. The charges include attempted murder, rape, felonious assault, kidnapping, and strangulation.
Antavia Kennibrew, the victim’s mother, said she dropped her daughter off Sept. 13 at a family member’s home in Cleveland. Somehow, the 5-year-old walked out the front door and was allegedly badly beaten by a group of kids outside.
The incident has raised concerns about the safety and well-being of children in the community.
