Two 12-year-olds arrested for 'torturing girl with lit cigarettes & sitting on her so she couldn't breathe' at sleepover

TWO girls, both aged 12, were arrested for allegedly torturing another girl of the same age while at a sleepover.

The girls allegedly beat the other girl, burned her with cigarettes, shaved her head and sat on her until she couldn’t breathe.


Authorities received photos and videos from the victim’s family about the incident that occurred last Friday night.

Jaimie Tribbett, the victim’s mother, told Fox 59 that a serious crime was committed against her daughter and that it wasn’t just a case of bullying.

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

Logansport Police in Indiana said one of the girls who were arrested faces juvenile charges of battery, criminal confinement and intimidation.

The other girl has yet to be charged as the investigation is still ongoing.

Logansport Police Sgt Dan Frye said it was “heart-wrenching” to see the videos of the incident and hear what allegedly took place, but could not provide specific details because everyone involved is a minor.

“My heart goes out for the young lady,” said Frye. “We apologize…for what she is dealing with at a young age.”

The victim’s aunt, Renita Contreras, said 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 said. “It goes on and on.”

According to the victim’s family, the girl had cuts on her face sent video to police of the girl’s bloodied face.

“she’s a little girl,” said Contreras. “What these juvenile females did to her is unimaginable,”

Tribbett said her daughter is recovering from her injuries but is worried about the toll the incident had on the child’s mental health.

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

Tribbett said she wants justice for her daughter and is asking for the girls who did this to be locked up.

“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.
