CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. (AP) - Three children from the same family are in juvenile custody after allegedly attacking a Cape Girardeau woman, and the victim believes she was targeted because she is gay.
The Southeast Missourian reports that 41-year-old Jeana Terry and her partner Lisa Lange were inside their home on July 24 when a 16-year-old neighbor girl allegedly began shouting anti-gay slurs.
The girl then allegedly gathered her 13-year-old sister and 11-year-old brother, went to the home and attacked Terry.
