The number of teenagers charged with horrifyingly violent crimes has skyrocketed in Cuyahoga County. Lakisha Trull, 39 and a mother, knows how it feels to be targeted by teenagers.
ByCUYAHOGA COUNTY, Ohio - The number of teenagers charged with horrifyingly violent crimes has skyrocketed in Cuyahoga County.“They need to be stopped,” said juvenile crime victim Lakisha Trull. “They’re gonna keep doing it if they keep letting them out on an ankle monitor.”
According to Cuyahoga County juvenile court records, the 17-year-old was on an ankle monitor when police arrested him.“He was on an ankle monitor that’s how the police knew that he came over here and tried to jack me,” Trull said. “Something needs to happen or we’re going to have more murders out here.”
The man defended himself, shooting Howard in the hand. The 15-year-old was shot in the stomach forcing him to wear a colostomy bag – but that didn’t slow him down – police said he was still wearing it when he carjacked Trull. “I understand that judges are pressed, and they’ve got lots of files to get through. But you know what, that’s what you signed up for,” McGee Brown explained. “Every child that comes before you should get your immediate attention and if you don’t want to do that, then don’t be a juvenile court judge.”
