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.
"I'm very hurt because my son was raised as a good boy," she said outside court.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?
OPEN YOUR WINDOWS and SHOUT, "I'M AS MAD AS H*LL and I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANY MORE!! " .....OPEN YOUR WINDOWS and SHOUT, "I'M AS MAD AS H*LL and I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANY MORE!! " .....OPEN YOUR WINDOWS and SHOUT, "I'M AS MAD AS H*LL and I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANY MORE!! "
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
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.
Just one question, how do you take a sponge bath with your clothes on.???
inconveniently(?)
Disgusting. I wonder what the sentence will be.
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
Not to mention Milwaulkees Best. (If that ain't a WMD, what is?)
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.
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....
Wow you're right...we missed the silver lining...he put on a condom first
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.
Glad Grandma iis being seen to.
( WE need more Grannies!)
Were these boys Prison Guards? Where is the NYT and CBS on this story? Where is Jesse?
I understand that..
.
What *I* am saying is that this little puke had tried before, and he succedded. ,,The neighbors should have known,, Somebody knew this little b@stard was messing with the lady.
Two friends of mine, a married couple, adopted a 10-year-old, one of the "inner-city kids taken out of their homes because of abuse, neglect," etc. At about age 17, the girl tried to kill my friend, her adoptive mother. Since then, the girl (now age 23) has spawned one illegitimate kid and recently aborted a second one.
LOL!!
Well yes, you are right about that...no doubt. Unfortunately, the idea of "community" and neighbors looking after one another doesn't exist in some neighborhoods. Many will ignore someone bing beaten by somebody else next door for fear that it is "none of their business", and when it is too late, people will say things like.."I don't understand why that happened?!?"
She's worse 100X :-)
Yep -- and count me among them. Note that one of these boys was adopted. People really need to think twice about glorifying adoption as an answer to the problem of unwanted children. An awful lot of these children are genetically predisposed to antisocial behavior -- just like their biological parents, who couldn't be bothered to care for them (and also got damaged in utero by their drinking drugging junk-food-eating mothers). In addition, those who are not adopted as newborns have usually undergone some serious psychological trauma, the effects of which are often permanent.
This adoptive mother may well have raised this boy decently, but often that's just not enough. I just keep reading story after story of adopted boys murdering, maiming, or raping -- often with their adoptive parents or siblings as the victims. And the others, who apparently were not adopted, were probably more or less dumped by their parents and left to raise themselves. We need to face the reality that NOBODY wants these kids, and often with good reason.
I personally have no problem with abortion, but think we should be doing a lot more to prevent conceptions among the obviously-unfit-to-be-parents segment of the population. Frankly a lot of them don't get abortions, not because they think it's wrong, or because they want the child, but because they're too busy partying to get around to going to the abortion clinic (remember the prom girl who dumped her newborn in the trash and went back to dancing? and her parents, who claimed they had no idea that their slender-built daughter was 9 months pregnant?). That segment would include chronically unsupervised adolescents and teens, as well as adults who are on welfare or have lengthy rap sheets and substance abuse problems (which almost certainly descibes the biological parents of all the boys in this story). IUDs and Norplants ought to be passed out like Kleenex in inner city middle and high schools, as well as at welfare agencies, substance abuse treatment centers, and prisons. Sterilizations should be free and no-questions-asked for anyone over 18 who requests them.
One of the reasons for being pro-choice?
No, this is one more example of the end results of the destruction of the family thanks to leftist ideals. The wish to be irresponsible and the entitlement mentality are part of the root causes of this sort of violence as well as abortion.
How are you going to discern who makes a good parent and who isn't?
This is so sick that no amount of discussion will ever "make it better."
