12-Year-Old In Wheelchair Beaten, Robbed By Teens In Delaware

NEWARK, Del. (CBS) — Police in Delaware are searching for two juveniles who attacked and robbed a 12-year-old confined to a wheelchair.

Twelve-year-old LeQuan Mackey is bravely talking about his attack Monday in hopes police will find the two boys he says have been picking on him for months.

Officers with the New Castle County Police Department responded to Buchanan Circle in Newark at about 2:45 p.m. Monday.

According to investigators, Mackey was outside exercising in his wheelchair when two suspects, as young as 12-years-old, approached him from behind.

“These kids pushed me into a sewer grate thing and my wheel got stuck and he started punching me. And I put my hand up to block the punch and then he grabbed my lanyard, twisted it, put it back around my neck again and started to pull it,” he said.

When the police find these teens should they coddle them and maybe give them a value meal back at the station so they aren't accused of brutality attacking them?

And these kids have parents, too. But parents who will rail at having to be responsible for their kids' actions against a disabled child.
It's 2:45 on Monday. Why aren't your kids in school?

Maybe these animals will go before Angela Fowler and get away with it. Her history is to allow muggers to walk.
