An 11-year-old girl was in court today and charged with murdering the 2-month-old baby.
According to Wickliffe Police Chief Randy Ice, the 11-year-old’s mother was babysitting the infant overnight. Police say the 11-year-old girl was with her mother and the baby on the couch until around 3 a.m. , until her mother fell asleep. That’s when the girl allegedly carried the infant upstairs and beat her up. She then carried the baby back downstairs a half-hour later and woke her mother.
The infant was bleeding and her head was badly swollen. She could barely open her eyes and was having a hard time breathing, according to police reports.
The baby was taken to the hospital but would die of internal injuries at Rainbow Babies and Children’s Hospital in Cleveland.
When authorities questioned the suspect, she did not seem upset that the baby was dead. “The girl did not show any remorse,†Chief Ice said. “I’m not sure she appreciated the gravity of what she did.†“We’re having a hard time getting our heads around this,†added Chief Ice. “You don’t see stuff like this.â€
According to Ohio law, the girl can't be tried as an adult, because she isn't 14 years of age. The hardest punishment she is facing; is being sentenced to a
state Department Youth Services Facility until she turns 21, or less than 10 years in jail.
