2 BOYS FACE CHARGES IN SEX ASSAULT CASES

A 12-year-old Highland Park boy has been charged with criminal sexual conduct after being accused of trying to force an 11-year-old Highland Park girl at gunpoint to have sex with him and later beating her for refusing his advances.

According to Wayne County sheriff's investigators, the alleged rape attempt took place about 4 p.m. Sunday at the boy's home in the 100 block of Midland, near Hamilton, in Highland Park.

Also at the home were another 11-year-old girl from Highland Park and a 13-year-old Highland Park boy. They were having sex in an upstairs bedroom while the attempted assault occurred, authorities said. The 13-year-old boy has been charged with second-degree criminal sexual conduct for having sex with the girl, who described him as her boyfriend, because there was no penetration, officials said.

If convicted, both boys could be held in a juvenile detention facility until they are 21. The boys also would have to register with the state as sex offenders.

The kids met at Reggie McKenzie Park in Highland Park, where the 12-year-old boy said: "Come to my house and get some water," Lt. Paul Jones said at a news conference Tuesday at the sheriff's office in Detroit.

When the four arrived at the house, where the 12-year-old's mother was home at the time, they went upstairs. The 13-year-old boy and his 11-year-old girlfriend disrobed in a bedroom. The 12-year-old boy and the other 11-year-old girl were in an upstairs hallway.

"Basically, he sees the other two kids on the bed trying to have sex. He tells this girl 'I want to do what they're doing,' " Jones said.

The 12-year-old boy grabbed her and the girl said no, Jones said. He told her again that he wanted to have sex and she refused. He then went into another room and came back with a .22-caliber rifle loaded with three rounds and pointed it at the girl.

Jones said the boy then said, "If you don't have sex with me, I'm going to kill you."

At that time, the 12-year-old's mother came up the stairs to tell him that he had friends waiting for him on the front porch. Jones said the boy put the gun away and the children left.

Once outside, Jones said, the boy began beating the girl for refusing his requests for sex. The girl told her mother, she called police and the boys were arrested the same day. Both youths are in the Wayne County Juvenile Detention Facility. The 12-year-old boy was charged with assault with intent to commit criminal sexual conduct involving penetration and a weapons charge.

The 13-year-old was charged with second-degree criminal sexual conduct. The boy, who turns 14 on June 25, asked for a probable cause hearing. That hearing is set for June 20.

Both boys appeared Monday before Wayne County Family Court referee Catherine Gardner, who set bonds at 10% of $5,000. Wayne County Assistant Prosecutor Robert Heimbuch said his office was working to appeal the low bond.

The younger boy has no record of police contacts. The older boy was arrested in August on an assault and battery charge, but it was dismissed.

"It's never easy when you hear of something like that happening," said Lawrence Meyer, chief of field operations for the Wayne County Sheriff's Office.

Falling Up

"Broken Heart"

In this moment synchronized inside, words that paint a legacy of life
A different picture will unfold, a healing finds it's way through
Sifted times I take another breath, with an ambience of nothing left
So heal my heart rain down your love these waters bring me back to life

[Chorus]
Father, healer deliver me from broken love
Stay hear, closer let me hear your voice of love

There's a healing calling from the wind, there's a healer waiting to begin
In timeless places, traced and faceless will I learn to let go
Take me to the heights where love controls,
far away from home but feels so close
This empty heart of mine will fall inside and bring me back to life

[Chorus]
Father, healer deliver me from broken love
Stay hear, closer let me hear your voice of love

You can hold, you can mend
You can heal, you can brake
I hold cause something etched this way

[Chorus]
Father, healer deliver me from broken love
Stay hear, closer let me hear your voice of love
Savior, Redeemer bring me to this place of peace
Jesus, guardian my broken heart is so in need

*sigh* i heart rain

I love it when it rains.  It smells so good.  It is providing the trees and grass with nutrients.  It moisturizes the skin.  Last time it rained while I was here, me and ernie took a walk in the rain.  It was nice.  I love the sun too but rain is just so fun.  Back in the day, when I worked at the boat tours, whenever it rained me and lauren ran out into the rain and played in the rain.  I wish I could do that now but it isn't raining hard enough and I have no one to play in the rain with.  I was just walking back from the business building and it was really just beginning to rain and I was just kinda smiling and had my head up looking around the whole time.  People were funny.  They had sweatshirts on with their hoods up, while I'm there in a cut off shirt and gym shorts.  They were all walking with their heads down so they wouldn't get their hair/face wet.  If I wouldn't have run into anything, I would have been walking with my face towards the sky cause rain is just so fun.  Who needs umbrellas anyways, why not enjoy the weather while there is still no snow.  I plan on enjoying every little bit of weather while it is still warm and there is no snow.  I hope it rains when I go home cause it smells better when it rains up there.  I think it is the river.  I love living near water too.  I think I am just somehow permanently connected with water and I can't imagine not living near it.  Sure we have the muskegan here, but it isn't the same.  That is one of the only things I miss about home is the saint mary's river.  It's that and my dad, mary, the burtons, and i think that is pretty much all i miss about home.  Sure I miss my pig but i think i'm allergic to him sadly.  I better go study for spanish now.

"Does Anybody Hear Her"

She is running
A hundred miles an hour in the wrong direction
She is trying
But the canyon's ever widening
In the depths of her cold heart
So she sets out on another misadventure just to find
She's another two years older
And she's three more steps behind

Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see?
Or does anybody even knows she's going down today
Under the shadow of our steeple
With all the lost and lonely people
Searching for the hope that's tucked away in you and me
Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see?

She is yearning
For shelter and affection
That she never found at home
She is searching
For a hero to ride in
To ride in and save the day
And in walks her prince charming
And he knows just what to say
Momentary lapse of reason
And she gives herself away

If judgement looms under every steeple
If lofty glances from lofty people
Can't see past her scarlet letter
And we never even met her

He is running
A hundred miles an hour in the wrong direction
 
 
for some reason i have just really loved this song lately.  whenever i'm home lately, i don't really want to go to church because i get the same fake questions from the same fake people that really don't care, they are just trying to be nice.  i on the other hand see through the fakeness.  don't get me wrong, i know there are people who actually truely care about me there, i count at most 10.  its like since i have started college they have automatically assumed i've become a normal college student but i'm not.  another thing that drives me nuts is the fact that they commend some people for doing couragous things, but some of those people are major a-holes.  sure its real cool that they are doing something couragous, but they come back for one night, go to canada to get wasted, go to studio 10 to watch girls, and then go to church the next day like nothing happened the night before.  another thing about it is, while my mom was sick they all talked to me all the time, but now that it has almost been 2 years since she died, some of them won't talk to me.  even the ones i used to see everyday because they used to come visit my mom everyday.  they did talk to me after they had found out i went to mississippi, but otherwise they don't.  i'd rather they not talk to me at all if they are going to be like that.  i just really needed to get that off of my chest.  and i just have the urge to put another song down because it is one of my other favorites as of late. 
 
"Stained Glass Masquerade"

Is there anyone that fails
Is there anyone that falls
Am I the only one in church today feelin' so small

Cause when I take a look around
Everybody seems so strong
I know they'll soon discover
That I don't belong

So I tuck it all away, like everything's okay
If I make them all believe it, maybe I'll believe it too
So with a painted grin, I play the part again
So everyone will see me the way that I see them

Are we happy plastic people
Under shiny plastic steeples
With walls around our weakness
And smiles to hide our pain
But if the invitation's open
To every heart that has been broken
Maybe then we close the curtain
On our stained glass masquerade

Is there anyone who's been there
Are there any hands to raise
Am I the only one who's traded
In the altar for a stage

The performance is convincing
And we know every line by heart
Only when no one is watching
Can we really fall apart

But would it set me free
If I dared to let you see
The truth behind the person
That you imagine me to be

Would your arms be open
Or would you walk away
Would the love of Jesus
Be enough to make you stay

 
and this song brings out another point, some of those people at church act like they do everything right, and they are very obnoxiously "holy" at church.  but their children have gone wild or are on the verge, and they don't seem to see it.  and church is supposed to be a place of freedom and where your confessions can be kept about anything, but one thing everyone in the church, including me i know i need to work on it too, needs to work on is the gossiping.  i hate it, but i know i do it too and i have been trying to work on it.  but i need sleep.
