"MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Prosecutors said Wednesday they won't file charges
against a woman arrested after police found three
of her 11 children hiding in an abandoned house and claiming they were
afraid to go home because she beat them.

Deputy District Attorney Bob Donohoo has said after the initial reports
were investigated that the facts ''do not point
to what was first being alleged.''

He confirmed Wednesday that no charges would be filed."

Great - So if that is really the case, and not some DA weaseling out of a
difficult prosecution to avoid claims of racial discrimination, how about
filing formal charges against this woman's children? It was this woman's
older children who helped their younger siblings "escape" from their
mother's alleged pattern of abuse. Shouldn't the older children be
prosecuted for their role in filing a false police report?
