Bresha Meadows Is Transferred to Adolescent Treatment Facility

HeadlineJan 27, 2017

In Ohio, Bresha Meadows, a 15-year-old girl who allegedly killed her abusive father, has been transferred to an adolescent treatment facility, after spending 175 days in a juvenile jail. Jonathan Meadows, Bresha’s father, reportedly made life for his family a living hell, routinely attacking his wife—Bresha’s mother—breaking her ribs, puncturing her blood vessels, blackening her eyes and slashing her body. Following the announcement of her transfer, her aunt recalls Bresha saying, “I’ll be able to walk around outside. I’ll be able to lay in the grass.” Click here to see our full coverage of Bresha Meadows’s case.
