SHEBOYGAN FALLS, Wis. (WBAY) – Oliver Hitchcock, an 8-year-old Sheboygan Falls boy, passed away Friday from injuries sustained in an assault.
Police say the boy\u2019s mother assaulted him on Wednesday, March 30 at an apartment at 1110 Plank Trail Lane in Sheboygan Falls.
Hitchcock died at 2:55 p.m. with his family by his side, according to the Sheboygan Falls Police Department.
\u201cOn behalf of the City of Sheboygan Falls and its residents, we offer condolences and prayers to the family of Oliver Hitchcock. This tragedy is not anything any family should have to endure,\u201d Chief of Police Eric Miller said in a media release.
We first alerted you that police responded to Plank Trail Apartments for a report of an injury to a child.<\/a>
Hitchcock\u2019s father was home at the time of the assault and called 911 and then rendered life-saving measures. First responders found Hitchcock unresponsive. The child was taken to St. Nicholas Hospital in Sheboygan and later transported to Children\u2019s Hospital in Milwaukee.
Chief Miller said Hitchcock\u2019s mother was also transported to the hospital with self-inflicted wounds from a weapon inside the home. She has since been released and taken into custody. Police are referring two charges: one count of first-degree intentional homicide and one count of attempted intentional homicide. Chief Miller said the second count stems from \u2018information obtained by witnesses of an unreported previous incident.\u2019
Hitchcock attended Sheboygan Falls Elementary School where school district officials are now preparing to offer extra staff and counselors starting on Monday.
\u201cWe want to offer our condolences to the family. We want to offer our gratitude to the police department and the entire city and the work that they\u2019ve done with us in the last few days. We have some tough days ahead for our families, our students, our staff…\u201d the School District of Sheboygan Falls Superintendent Annalee Bennin said during a press conference. \u201cWe\u2019re very fortunate to have close connections with our community and districts in the county to offer additional support with their crisis-trained personnel.\u201d
Bennin says age-appropriate conversations will take place in each classroom.
Police encourage parents from the school district to check on their children\u2019s mental health and well-being during this time.
Officials say a criminal complaint with more details is expected to be released next week.
The mother\u2019s name will not be released until she is criminally charged.
An autopsy is scheduled for next week.
The family of Oliver has started a GoFundMe page. <\/a>
