MOTHER FROM WAUSAU WISCONSIN SAYS 4 TEENS WHO BEAT HER 15 YEAR OLD SON WITH BATS SHOULD BE ON TRIAL FOR ATTEMPTED MURDER NOT CHILD ABUSE.
Dear Tory Lowe,
It has been a little over four months now since I reached out to you. I want to thank you and let you know how grateful my family and I are to have you involved with getting justice for Junior. I dont believe Juniors story would have even made it to the media if it wasnt for you, and your followers.
Junior was beaten by four individuals on July 1st in Wausau with baseball bats. Junior came home the middle of August after having brain surgery, and rehabilitation for his broken kneecap from the beating.
First, we are blessed to still have him here with us. It has not been a easy road and he still has a long road ahead of him. School for him has been a slow start with him going to school for two hours a day. We have been busy with all of his other therapy appointments and learning the “New” Junior.
During the investigation I felt like the detective on the case was more worried about the events two days after my sons attack than he was about getting justice for my son. I contacted Wausau Pilot and Review on Facebook about a week later since nothing had even been mentioned about my sons attack and nobody was in custody.
I later found the lady who saved my sons life that night, and learned that a police officer was on the next block during my sons attack but turned his lights on and went the opposite direction according to someone who lives in the neighborhood where everything took place.
I contacted Tory Lowe and he came to Wausau, Wisconsin to do interviews with the people who saved my sons life. I was notified almost two weeks after my sons attack that there were four individuals involved and one of the boys looked up on his phone how long he would get in prison for murder before going to the neighborhood my son was in. One of the other boys is the son of Captain Rob Dickerson from Everest Metro Police Department.
It all started to make sense why I didn’t and still dont feel like my son is getting Justice. I was told by the detective that all four would be charged with first degree intentional attempted homicide. That never happened and in fact they are charged with child abuse causing great bodily harm and use of a dangerous weapon.
The 911 audio states they had to RSI the patient and that means the medics had to intubate my son. Them four boys took my sons life. I will not stop until i get Justice for Junior.Please continue Praying for Junior and our family. Thank you for all of the shares, prayers and just the concerns in general we appreciate it.
Sincerely,
Kelly Garduno
👑: Please continue to share Junior’s story. This family deserves justice. Keep Junior in your Prayers.🙏🏾

Those boys should of been charged with attempted murder, assult with a deadly weapon, gang charges, etc, cause what they did is so inhumane,and if they get off easy imagine the pain they will cause on someone when they grow up , and The article says Junior did die, so these boys should spend life in prison , cause only an animal would do this to a human being and at point where they going to stop beating this poor kid???? I have a 14 year old son ( his name is junior as well, well Jesse A. Junior, .)…anyway I can’t imagine the pain that the family is going through and that poor kid to have to have Brian surgery… It makes me soon sick to hear this stuff going on in the world and terrifes me to let my kids out of my sight cause if anyone hurt my kids ,I don’t know what I would do ,all I know is it would be bad cause I would want to protect my babies from these animals who need to be locked In a cage and never let out until they leave in a box, shame on you animals who ha dto gang up on that poor innocent kid and then had to use weapons to fight!! I hope you animals reap what you see and this angel gets the justice that he deserves to.. My heart also goes out to mom and I admire your strength, cause if it was me ,I might of beat the shit out of those brats for hurting my son which I know is not right and is the wrong action but my life is my babies and anyone hurts them , deserves pain just like they inflicted. GOD BLESS YOU JUNIOR, JUNIORS MOM AND FAMILY and I pray for recovery , justice for the crime and peace of mind for mom and family…

Child Abuse and Neglect is a class C felony and punishable up to 40 years and $100,000 under Wisconsin law. It is defined as “intentionally causing great bodily harm (injury with substantial risk of death or which results in permanent disability or disfigurement)
They may have a hard time trying to prove attempted murder which most people only serve 10-15 years in prison. I think the cop charged with them with whatever carried the most jail time. If you research it I am sure you will come up with the same conclusion.

I have three class 3 felony and I got probation. Try again. Attempted murder wouldn’t be that hard to pursue. They used bats which can be considered deadly weapons. The kid nearly died. If they simply go through kids phones and can prove they searched to see how much time they would get for murder before this happened. They can prove it is premeditated. Which can help add additional charges. Law enforcement doesn’t work against each other. That is simply what is happening here. If the kid involved wasn’t a cops son this would be much different.

See Lisa comment 11-24-19.
She says child endangerment and abuse is a class C felony caring a fine up to $100,000 and up to 40 years. IF the 4 involved were to be convicted They could potentially be serving more time and a fine which would help the family and Junior with ongoing expenses.

God bless you mom for fighting for your child 🙏 and justice. Praying his recovery continues. You are his hero. Continue fighting for that justice as it is not only putting these four away from any more opportunities to beat others but may prevent others from doing the same. Justice helps the healing process and it assures your son his safety as they won’t be out there trying to harm again. God bless you both.

The only reason they are not charged as should be, is because the one kids daddy is the chief. That is the only reason. This is not right at all. It doesnt matter who you are.

This so called cheif should be charged also for trying to cover this up and downplay it. He is NOT someone that should be protecting the community. And if it was looked up on the phone before hand, thats premeditated murder. Fight this all the way. You have the world behind you.

Unfortunately when any part of a bad cop family is involved in a crime the suspected person(s) never get what is lawfully coming to them. Look at the Deidre Week case in Wisconsin Rapids. All parties know who did it, and if the evidence would have been followed the damn sheriff at the time would have arrested his own family members. But instead everything has been put off and forgotten about. So much for Justice for Deidre. That poor child didn’t deserve what happened to her. God will prosecute those men involved along with that Sheriff! Sad as it is!
Those boys should be held to the highest standard and tried as ADULTS! Tried for attempted murder.
Though this brings NO comfort to Junior or his family! That would mean slaughtering one of their own and we all know bad cops and their families get away with murder.

It has long been a practice, that the aggrived/victim, should initiate a law suit, holding the parents of underage minors accountable for any and all criminal actions which causes loss of property, monitary; bodily function, quality of life. A civil suit, filed will actually put leverage against the perpetrators, and hold those responsible for the actions of the minors responsible for all medical costs, as well as punitive awards handed down by the courts. These four kids who attacked your child with baseball bats, should be charged with First Degree assault with intent to commit murder while using a deadly weapon… And, using a deadly weapon while in the commission of a felony… And. Use of deadly force against a minor child with the intent of causing great bodily harm, including intent to cause death. I do not know, but there may also be a hate crime provision which may be applied. Get the State Police involved:. The fact that a police officers son is one of the alleged perpetrators could be seen as a corruption case if there is a seeming reluctance to prosecute. Cowards attack in packs. The fact that they are cowards makes them no less deadly… Good luck to you and your son, my prayers go out for you at this time…

My son was beat up by a group of teens from St. Rita HS in Chicago when he was 17 years old. They wanted to make sure that my son could NOT pitch against their team the following Monday. My son was really good and had even been scouted. The kids surrounded my son and locked Elbows, and proceeded to beat my son by kicking, punching jumping on his chest, knee-dropping him in the face, and trying to choke him out with the chain from his cross. Then they tried to break his legs. When he tried to crawl away they dragged him back. There were claw marks in the grass where he tried to get away. They were able to catch 4 of the 20 or so kids. One of the kids was a Chicago police sargent’s son. The whole time we were in court, he and his mother sat and laughed and cracked jokes. She told him more than once that he had nothing to worry about because they wouldn’t dare convict him because he is the son of a cop! Those boys got 3 days cleaning up the highway, and nothing on their records. My son spent the next year recovering from his injuries. He had nightmares for years and never played basketball again. Moral of the story: Cops kids are never held accountable for the things they do.
