Mom of Teen Charged in Kenosha Shooting Speaks Out as Son Fights Extradition
by Tom Ozmek

The mother of Kyle Rittenhouse, the 17-year-old accused of killing two protesters amid unrest sparked by the police-involved shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin, has spoken about her son’s situation and her fears of mob retribution.

As the teenager fights extradition to Wisconsin from his home state of Illinois, his mother, Wendy Rittenhouse, told Fox News that she has taken a leave of absence from her nursing home job and that she and her two daughters have fled their home to an undisclosed location amid worries about mob justice.

“We can’t even go back home. We don’t even have a home because the fear of them breaking in my house, killing my daughters, killing me, and if Kyle was there, to kill him,” she said.

Kyle Rittenhouse made a court appearance on Friday morning as his lawyers fought his extradition. Court papers filed on Thursday argued that moving Rittenhouse to Wisconsin “would be to turn him over to the mob.”

The teenager has been charged with six criminal counts, including first-degree intentional homicide, for the shootings that left two people dead and a third injured.
