Logansport Police, Indianathey said the incident happened last Friday night and that they had received photos and video from the family of the girl’s victim, who was abused during the night.
That’s what Jamie Tribute, the victim’s mother, said Fox 59 that this is not a case of harassment, but rather serious crime committed against her daughter.
“They tortured her,” Tribute said. “I was mentally, physically torturing my daughter, and that’s not right.”

The victim’s mother, Jamie Tribute, said her daughter was recovering from the accident but would spend the rest of her life wondering who she could trust.
Logansport Police Sergeant Dan Fry told Fox that it was “heartbreaking” to watch the videos and hear about what allegedly happened during the night and could not provide specific details about the incident, as the case includes minors.
“I am glad for the young lady,” he said. “We apologize … for what I did at a young age.”
Renita Contreras, the victim’s aunt, said her niece was “tortured, beaten, [and] limited.
“Two young women sat on it for two hours so she couldn’t breathe, they burned her with lighters,” she told Fox. “It goes on and on.”
The members of the victim’s family added that the girl had received cuts on her face and showed the police a video of the victim lying on the floor with a bloodied face.
“She is a little girl. “What these young women have done to her is unimaginable,” Contreras said.

Tribute said her daughter is recovering from her injuries, but fears the accident will affect her mental health.
“It hurts badly because now she has to look over her shoulder for the rest of her life or wonder if she can trust this or that person,” Tribute told Fox. “It’s absolutely awful.”
Tribute added that he wants justice for his daughter and the girl he is currently accused of being locked up.
“I hope my daughter gets justice and the other little girl stays there for a long time and gets the help she needs,” she said.
