Social Issue News: Dead From Abuse 62 Kids in Cuyahoga Over 10
Between 2006 and 2015, 62 kids died because of abuse and or neglect in Cuyahoga County, according to the most recently available data from the county’s Child Fatality Report.
The numbers even higher if you add all homicides.
The case of a child allegedly beaten to death in Clevelandwhile being cared for by her mom and her mom’s partner, has put a spotlight on the reality of child abuse and, ultimately, kids who die at the hands of their parents or caregivers.
Police say 5-year-old Ta'naejah McCloud was taken to University Hospitals Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital via EMS with “massive head trauma,” last Friday. She died on Tuesday.
McCloud’s mother, Tequila Crump and her mother’s girlfriend, Ursula Owens, have now been charged with felonious assault.
The charges could be amended as the investigation continues.
