Children Charged with Attempted Murder and Rape

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.

A 9-year-old boy and a 10-year-old girl have been charged with attempted murder, rape, felonious assault, kidnapping, and strangulation, according to Cuyahoga County prosecutors.

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 occurred last month, and the children are currently facing initial charges.
