A 14-year-old girl who was impregnated by a relative was beaten by four other family members to induce an abortion, Dallas police say. After the eight-month pregnant girl delivered, the family tried to cover up the crime by burning the stillborn baby on a charcoal grill at a Pleasant Grove home, police say. Cedric Jones, 27; Sharon Jones, 45; Cecila McDonald, 25; and Lonnell McDonald, 27, were arrested Tuesday on charges of engaging in organized criminal activity. They were being held in the Dallas County jail, with bail set at $150,000 each. The relationships among the suspects and the victim were not clear late Tuesday. The hours-long attack allegedly occurred in 2013, but the girl stayed quiet until another woman, who said she witnessed part of the assault, took her to a police station May 22. The girl said she became pregnant after she was sexually assaulted by a family member in August 2012 in the 1200 block of North Masters Drive, near Lake June Road, according to an affidavit. She told police she was a virgin before she was raped and “did not tell anyone about the sexual assault because … she was embarrassed.” Police said the girl’s relatives found out between January and March 2013 that she was pregnant and “became very nervous and were concerned about … [Child Protective Services] removing children from the residence,” the affidavit says.

Sharon Jones gave the girl “multiple doses of birth control pills, Plan B [emergency contraception] pills and cinnamon tablets … to abort the baby,” police said. After the pills failed to induce an abortion, Cecila McDonald pinned the girl down while Lonnell McDonald began “repeatedly bouncing up and down” while sitting on the girl’s abdomen. He also is accused of kicking the girl repeatedly. Cecila McDonald told her, “You ain’t about to get my kids taken away from me,” while Lonnell McDonald laughed, according to the affidavit. The woman who helped file a police report last month told police the girl was crying in extreme pain. Sharon Jones told the girl to “shut up” and cry into a pillow during the assault, which lasted about six hours, according to the affidavit. The attack didn’t stop until the girl began bleeding heavily. She said the baby was stillborn about two hours later. The relatives tried to burn the baby’s body in a charcoal grill, but the remains were not destroyed, the affidavit says. Two days later, Sharon Jones paid Cedric $25 to “take care of the rest of it,” and the remains were disposed of in a plastic bag at an unknown location. The family never sought medical care for the girl but gave her iron pills because of her blood loss.

Those people haven't even an ounce of humanity or compassion among them they need to all be strung up and hung. The world has no use for people like this they are no better than the inhuman ISIS.

None of these people has a conscience.

This is so vile, it makes me physically ill.
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.
