Once Again, Who Is The Problem?

And once again, words escape us:

• Three teens have been charged in the attack of a girl with a mental disability that was recorded on cellphone video after she refused to engage in sex acts.
  
  Three girls — ages 13, 14 and 15 — were charged with aggravated battery and mob action, according to Chicago police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi.
  
  The three turned themselves into police with their parents Wednesday night, according to Cook County prosecutors and a police source.

Get a load of "Mom's: excuse:

• The 14-year-old, who wore her hair long to her shoulders, was released to the custody of her mother and ordered to be placed on electronic monitoring.
  
  “She’s a good girl when she wants to be,” the girl’s mother said after court. The mother added that older girls in the neighborhood were a bad influence on her daughter. “I’m not for her beating on anyone. I’m just so irritated with all this,” she said.

The female parental unit isn't a mother - she's an enabler. "...good...when she wants to be"? What the fuck is that? A child is good because they are told to be good and are rewarded for being good. And when they aren't good, they get punished. Repeatedly. Until they learn. By mom...AND dad.

And guess why they surrendered?

• The older girl, who wore her hair short, was ordered to be placed on electronic monitoring, but she will be placed at the Saura Center — a temporary shelter for juveniles who would otherwise be kept in juvenile detention. That girl’s mother had told the judge that she feared for her family’s safety if she returned home.
  
  “I’m fearful for my life and for my daughter’s life,” the woman said. “I don’t think she’d be safe to leave out this courtroom.”
  
  Both parents told the judge they have received multiple threats against their daughters and their families. Prosecutors had asked for both girls to be held in juvenile detention “for their safety.” Sharkey encouraged the families to report any threats to the police, which they said they had already done.

Hey lady? Call 3-1-1 for your report. You aren't getting any bonus points for ditching your spawn to the system.

And if that wasn't the icing on the cake:

• Chicago Police News Affairs Office Jose Jara said Wednesday detectives are also looking into the possibility that the girl was sexually assaulted while she was missing “based on initial testimony from the victim herself.”
  
  Of the videotaped attack Police Supt. Eddie Johnson said Thursday, “The hate that we all saw is an affront to who we all are as Chicagoans.”

Oh Special Ed, please stop. This is EXACTLY what certain parts of Chicago have become - and it's by design. Look at what your political master said the other day. Look at your command staff in assorted districts, especially 025. You reward misbehavior, expect a lot more of it.
