GUILTY OH - Takoda Collins, 10, abused for years locked in attic & murdered, Dayton, 13 Dec 2019 *arrest*

[EvilOlivE]

Three people are facing charges in connection to the death of a 10-year-old boy who was subjected to “extreme abuse” for years and locked in a dark attic while naked, according to court records...

McLean’s fiancee Amanda Lee Hinze, 28, and her sister Jennifer Ebert, 25, are each facing four counts of endangering children...

The child had “multiple cuts and bruises all over his body” and was taken to Dayton Children's Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

During interviews with McLean, Hinze and Ebert, detectives learned that “there had been extreme abuse for an extended amount of time inflicted by McLean,” according to the court affidavit.

“Takoda was kept in a dirty, locked, dark attic and abused daily over the course of several years,” said court documents. “The interviews also revealed that Takoda was held underwater and gasping for breath prior to succumbing to his injuries.”...

The family lived in Dayton, but Collins was home-schooled, according to Dayton Public Schools Superintendent Elizabeth Lolli.

Under current rules with home-schooled students, everything Is handled through the mail, Lolli said.

“We don’t see the student,” she said.

The father of a 10-year-old boy who authorities say was locked in an attic and killed is expected to go to trial in the case next month. Al-Mutahan McLean, who is charged in connection to the death of Takoda Collins, told the court he didn’t wish to delay the April 26 trial date that was previously set. McLean called for his attorney to visit him in the jury box, where he was sitting during a motion to suppress hearing as Montgomery County Common Pleas Judge Dennis Adkins was discussing moving the trial to September.

No mention of the biological mother. How was he charged with kidnapping?
I just can't get my head around the rape. And these two women allowed it to happen. MOO They should get the same sentence as him.

Mom of dead Dayton 10-year-old says she tried to save son (daytondailynews.com)
Robin Collins, the mother of Takoda Collins, told this news organization that she called the police and filed documents with a Wisconsin court, begging them to get Takoda out of the home...
“I called and did welfare checks on him,” Robin Collins said. “I called the cops down there, and just this past summer I was trying to get custody back again, and nobody did anything about it.”

This news outlet has attempted to get court records from Dane County Circuit Court in Wisconsin as it relates to Takoda’s custody but was informed much of the case is confidential. However, according to online court record dockets, Robin Collins in May filed an “order to show cause and affidavit of contempt” in the case.
She also says she called Montgomery County Regional Dispatch numerous times, asking them the check on Takoda’s well-being.

That’s supported by public records obtained by the Daily News last week.
“Robin continues to call in well checks. Takoda is being taken care of and still has behavioral issues. Al appears to be taken care of his needs with no concerns,” a dispatch log from May 14 says.

“I wish I would have just gone down there and kidnapped him, to be honest. Because that was the only option I had was to go to jail and take him from his father,” she said. “I really wish I would have just gone and got him.”
