- The detectives say they granted the 6-year-old boy’s first Christmas wish early when they were able to arrest his grandmother on abuse charges.
Area Central Detective Joseph Mancilla said that at first, when the boy was asked what he wanted for Christmas, he said, “I just don’t want my sister to be beaten anymore."
Grandma got locked up for Child Abuse. The thing was, she had custody after her own daughter (kids momma) had lost custody for.....wait for it.....Child Abuse.
So the detectives are trying to give the kids at least one decent Christmas:
So the detectives are trying to give the kids at least one decent Christmas:
- [Detective Joseph Mancilla and Detective Pamela] Childs plans to have a cake made at a bakery she goes to and the detectives will be delivering presents there on Christmas Eve.
The detectives plan to put together a trust for the children, and anyone who wants to donate a gift, clothing, shoes or other items can drop them off at the Wentworth District front desk at 5101 S. Wentworth Ave.
We can't be Santa to all the kids, but here and there?
Best wishes to the Detectives and good luck. Merry Christmas.
