Community Boys Arrested For Rape Of Eight-year-old, Parents For Child Abuse
A furore followed when it was reported that her parents had abandoned her as she had brought the family notoriety. She has since been moved to childcare services. And now her parents have been arrested on charges of child abuse.
Four boys ages 9 to 14 were charged with sexually assaulting the 8-year old girl, in Phoenix, Arizona, in July last.
The girl was lured into a vacant storage shed by the suspects, who offered her chewing gum, police said at a news conference.
The girl was restrained while the boys — ages 9, 10, 13 and 14 — sexually assaulted her, police said.
All the suspects except for the 14-year-old live in the same apartment complex, according to Phoenix police Sgt. Andy Hill. The 14-year-old has been charged as an adult, Hill said.
The girl and the boys charged are all from families that have come to the United States from the West African nation of Liberia, police said.
It also transpired that the parents didn’t want to have anything to do with the girl anymore as she had brought only shame on them and so she was removed to the Arizona Child Protective Service (CPS).
There seemed very little sympathy in the community for the wronged girl. Her own elder sister was more critical of the child than of the culprits. In fact she wanted them to be released early from detention.
