Girls aged TWELVE are arrested 'after they tortured another girl the same age with lit CIGARETTES

Two 12-year-old girls were arrested after they allegedly tortured another girl, 12, by beating her, burning her with cigarettes, shaving her head and sitting on her until she couldn’t breathe during a sleepover.

Police in Logansport, Indiana, said the incident took place last Friday night and that they had received photos and video from the victim’s family of the girl being abused at the sleepover. 

Jaimie Tribbett, the victim’s mother, told Fox 59 that this wasn’t a case about bullying, but rather a serious crime committed against her daughter. 

‘They tortured her,’ Tribbett said. ‘Mentally, physically tortured my daughter and it’s not right.’

Logansport Police said one of the arrested girls faces juvenile charges of battery, criminal confinement and intimidation. The second girl has yet to be charged and the investigation is still ongoing.

The victim’s mother, Jaimie Tribbett, said her daughter is recovering from the incident but will spend the rest of her life wondering who she can trust

Logansport Police Sgt. Dan Frye told Fox that it was ‘heart wrenching’ to see the videos and hear about what allegedly took place during the sleepover and could not provide specific details over the incident because the case involved juveniles. 

‘My heart goes out for the young lady,’ he said. ‘We apologize… for what she is dealing with at a young age.’ 

Renita Contreras, the victim’s aunt, said that her niece was ‘tortured, beaten, [and] confined.’

‘Two juvenile females sat on top of her for two hours so she could not breathe, they burned her with cigarette lighters,’ she told Fox. ‘It goes on and on.’ 

The family members of the victim added that the girl received cuts on her face and that they showed police a clip of the victim lying down on the floor with a bloodied face. 

‘She’s a little girl. What these juvenile females did to her is unimaginable,’ Contreras said.

Tribbett said her daughter is recovering from her injuries, but fears that the incident will take its toll on her mental health. 

‘It hurts bad because now she has to for the rest of her life look over her shoulder or wonder if she can trust this person or that person,’ Tribbett told Fox. ‘It’s absolutely horrible.’ 

Tribbett added that she wanted justice for her daughter and for the girl currently charged to be locked away. 

‘I hope that my daughter can get justice and that the other little girl, I hope that she stays in there for a long time and gets the help that she needs,’ she said.
