Mother wants teens tried as adults because "they never need to walk the streets"


CINCINNATI, Ohio (AP) -- Two teenagers hid overnight in a house and spent more than six hours torturing a disabled woman after her mother left in the morning, authorities said.

Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones said the teenage boy and girl tied up the 18-year-old woman, clubbed her, kicked her, shaved her head and soaked her with water before making her walk barefoot outside in the snow.

They also ignored pleas from the woman, who had undergone brain surgery, not to hit her in the head, investigators said.

"This is one of the worst crimes I've ever seen," Jones said Monday. "They are sick animals, apparently just doing this for kicks and no other reason."

Cheyenne Blanton, 17, and Joseph Nagle, 16, both of Hamilton, were arraigned Monday on juvenile delinquency charges that include aggravated burglary, aggravated robbery, kidnapping, felonious assault and vandalism, according to juvenile court officials.

They were ordered held in the county's juvenile detention center pending a court appearance later this week. Neither entered a plea, and both requested court-appointed attorneys. Those attorneys had not been named Monday.

The teens are accused of physically abusing Ashley Clark, 18, for more than six hours Friday at her home in Hanover Township, about 35 miles northwest of Cincinnati.

Both Jones and the woman's mother, Sheila Clark, want the teenagers tried as adults, and Jones said the two could get 75 years to life in prison if tried and convicted as adults.

"I want full justice for my daughter," Clark said Monday. "Those two never need to walk the streets again."

Clark would not comment on details of the case or provide specifics on her daughter's disabilities or injuries, other than to say that her daughter was doing as well as possible.

"I can't understand how anyone could do this to anyone, but especially to someone with such a beautiful, loving heart," Sheila Clark said.

Messages seeking comment on whether adult charges would be pursued were left at the prosecutor's office Monday. There was no answer at a telephone listing for a Joseph Nagel in Hamilton. There was no listing for Cheyenne Blanton.

Jones said the teenagers hid overnight in the basement of the Clark home, intending to steal the car and leave town before an upcoming juvenile court appearance date for one of the suspects.

They apparently missed their chance to get the car when Sheila Clark left the house in it Friday morning, and they went into the kitchen to get something to eat before going upstairs and waking her daughter, Jones said. The pair then spent the next six to eight hours torturing Ashley Clark, he said.

The mother realized something had happened when she came home, saw the house ransacked and called 911. A neighbor also called the sheriff's department to report two juveniles in the neighbor's yard.

Detectives apprehended the teenagers a few minutes later in nearby woods after following their footprints in the snow, Jones said.

F***ing sick bastards!!!!!! PEOPLE LIKE YOU WON'T BE MISSED IN THIS WORLD...:mad:

its all over the news here, they're about a 10 minute drive from me.

the sound of the mother's voice on the 911 tape was hard to listen to :(

oh my gosh. that is disgusting. who would do this to someone, especially after they had just had brain surgery?
sick & disgusting. i'm absolutely revolted. and i hope they get EXACTLY what they deserve.

These brats should be sentenced to community service working with people with disabilities and brain injuries. I think their parents should also be disciplined for apparently never teaching their children compassion and respect for life. :mad:

i think they need to have the same exact thing done to them. so then they'll know exactly how that 18 year old girl felt when they were torturing her.

how's about the death penalty be brought forward to include minors such as these sick, twisted little ****ers? :mad:

:mad: Yes, they should definitely without a doubt be tried as adults. Anyone who knows better, i dont care if you're 12, you should be tried as an adult. What these boys need is to be put in jail for 200+ years plus the death penalty and once they are in jail, they need to have the woman's parent's plus the woman come with clubs, beat the living heck out of the boys, then stick them outside in the snow (handcuffed and tied down) over night. Sometimes i wish i can be the one who makes up all these laws because i feel what you do to someone, you should have it done right back at you.

how's about the death penalty be brought forward to include minors such as these sick, twisted little ****ers? :mad:

I know, i'm so sick of the law/people treating so called "minors" differently for these types of actions. Even when I was 5 years old i knew that hitting someone on the head with a club is WRONG. Even if these boys were 7 years old i'd want them in jail. You are no longer a human being after this type of behavior.

Aw, that poor woman. :(

You know, where the **** are the nieghbors? Isn't anyone home anymore? You would have thought that if they heard all that commotion they would have done something!

OK, ignore my above post. I just read this over and realized it was a stupid thing to say. I can't believe anyone could be so heartless. It proves that their are monsters out roaming around and it is really disheartening.

You can't blame parents all the time when teens commit crimes. You can raise several kids in the same home and have one bad apple come out. I don't know the story regarding the parents of these teens, but it shouldn't be assumed every teen who commits a crime had bad parents. I have seen some great parents who had to deal with stupid teens. Teens hang around a bad crowd or get into drugs and/or alcohol and do stupid things, plain and simple. The teens in this story should have the book thrown at them, I don't want them to get off easy with community service. :mad:

That's disgusting, they need stringing up or something much worse. :mad: :mad:

so maybe i'm a little weird, but i looked up those two on myspace and found them. apparently the guy got out of rehab a few months ago, and they have a child together that they named after the lead singer of korn (with both first and last name).

god, they need hearts and lives. torturing her for six hours? shouldn't they have been taking care of little Jonathan Davis Earl Gregory Nagle? :rolleyes:

poor baby has to have such ****ing irresponsible idiots for parents. hopefully they'll go to jail for a long time and someone with a hint of intelligence and morality will take care of him.

I agree. Beat them with baseball bats. Preferably until dead, cuz worthless scum like this doesn't rehabilitate.

Aww....she feels loved. And she logged in today somehow. Probably to privatize her profile. I'd love to see any comments she's gotten recently.



I laff at them.

His myspace said he is an "atheist." :rolleyes:

And to think there are responsible caring people out there who can't have kids :rolleyes: I'm wondering how the psycho b**** logged in today. I hope someone kills her and her sperm donor. In the most brutal way.

Bet you a million dollars he doesn't even know what atheist really means.

I agree. That little baby is too precious to be the offspring of those two.
URG MAKES ME SICK.

so he is an atheist, so what? it still doesn't make a difference. in fact, what the hell does that have to do with abusing others religious or not, if you go round abusing people and beating them to death, you're still sick and evil, regardless

I should have gone into details, but I thought the sarcasm smiley was enough.

If he doesn't believe in God, he is in for a shock when he dies and he has to face judgment day for what he did to that poor girl. ;) HE IS GOING TO HELL!

I am frankly sick of

(a) the orgy of bloodletting that follows every one of these incidents. I don't understand the sort of righteousness that finds satisfaction in revenge -- I don't really see that's it's any different from the mindset of the criminal. If I'm wrong here, so be it.

(c) the everlasting references to God and hell. If I really believed in eternal damnation, I'd be way more worried about not winding up in hell myself than smug about the prospects of others going to it.

(d) the tedious regularity with which these things happen. Sure, blame music, blame drugs, blame whatever -- but never blame the culture of death that's all around. (The last Pope's phrase, not mine, BTW.) Glorify all the mercenaries, um, volunteers, we send all around the world to kill the infidels, bathe yourself in endless violence in all forms of entertainment, and then wonder why some people go unhinged and decide to do a bit of head-bashing in real life? Nahh.

If you think I'm being smug and anti-American, YOU ARE WRONG. In all these respects, Canada and the USA are basically the same.

Of course the guilty should be punished. But instead of merely having them killed, society would be better off, I think, if we let God (if you believe in all that) decide on their ultimate fate, spare their wretched lives, and have them do at least some useful menial labor as prison slaves till they croak.

And yes, I know everything I say above is pointless here in these forums, if not in fact against the rules. But I had to say it.

So there. :)

^^^ I have idea what that is all abt but it sounds like you are saying, GET OVER IT. :lol:

I believe society would be better off without these kinds of humans around. They'll never rehabilitate, they'll never see their actions as horrible as they were; if they did, they wouldn't have done it in the first place. They obviously have no morality (for whatever reason), and simply making them slaves is only going to make them angrier and cost us taxpayers money to keep their worthless bodies alive. I don't like the thought that I'm going to work everyday so that a portion of my wages can go to keeping these things alive. Ick.

Just my opinion.

I love your opinion. ;)

I'm just arguing for hard labor. Of the sort that not only covers the costs of gaol, but produces revenue. I'm not sure that kind of hard labor's used anywhere in North America, though.

No. :)

Some of the posts above seem to be calling for precise vengeance in kind. That's a feature of islamic law. I cringe at it, exactly because I'm a godless liberal.

I know, i'm so sick of the law/people treating so called "minors" differently for these types of actions. Even when I was 5 years old i knew that hitting someone on the head with a club is WRONG.

And 16 & 17 ain't so young either. Absolutely send them to jail in a nannosecond & throw away the key!!!
