***Explicit Content and KCE is using Zha’riyah’s name with permission from, and at the request of her mother***
A Winnebago County man accused of raping a five-year-old was taken into custody at the order of Kenosha County Circuit Court Judge Anthony Milisauskas today. Dakari S.D. Childress was first charged with First Degree Sexual Assault of the late Zha’riyah Robinson, 5, of Kenosha on February 2, 2024.

Kenosha County Circuit Court Commissioner William Michel II gave Childress a no-cash bail, meaning that he was set free into the world without having to pay a cent. ADA Alexandra Smathers, the prosecutor on the case, was OK with the no-cash bail, until the family of Zha’riyah and readers of this publication pushed back. Smathers told the family that there was “no basis” to ask for a higher bail. KCE published an article about a disturbance that occurred at the last hearing on May 29, 2024. Finally, five days later, Smathers made a motion asking for the bail to be increased.
As a basis for the motion, Smathers sent a photo of Childress from his Facebook account holding what looks like a gun. She didn’t, however, show the judge the multiple videos of him holding a gun and drugs. They were sent to her by a citizen, but she ignored the communication. The video is below:
In court today, Childress told the Judge that his phone was “robbed” from him and someone got his password and this mystery person was posting the videos and photos that he said were “old.” The photo that Smathers sent the judge showed Childress in dreadlocks, which Childress says were cut off long ago.

The Judges wasn’t convinced and cited the need to protect the public and the seriousness of the accusations as his reason for increasing Childress’ bail to $25,000 cash.

So, what happened to baby Zha’riyah Robinson? We know she was a cute, spunky, sweet and beloved little five-year-old little girl. We know she was brutally sexually assaulted on August 22, 2023, and unfortunately, passed away less than three months later on November 16, 2023 in Surprise, Arizona. What we don’t know is how she died. In court today, Assistant District Attorney Alexandra Smathers called Zha’riyah’s death “suspicious.”
A highly skilled sexual assault nurse who spoke with KCE said that the death could be linked to her rape, which was oral, vaginal, and rectal. A rectal tear could cause a slow and terrible death under certain circumstances.

According to the criminal complaint, then-15-year-old Dakari S.D. Childress was briefly watching Zha’riyah at a home in Kenosha. He was then alleged to have brutally raped her in every possible way. Zha’riyah was able to depict to Kenosha Police exactly what happened.
Childress was charged as a juvenile at first, but Judge Meier sent him to be tried as an adult. He made his initial appearance as an adult on February 7, 2024.
(KPD)
“We handled a sexual assault case with Childress as a suspect []. After our conversation, I spoke with a couple [of] detectives and found that Surprise PD in Arizona is investigating the child’s death,” said KPD Spokesman Lt. Josh Hecker.
KCE reached out to the Surprise, AZ police department. Sgt. Rick Hernandez released the following statement:
“This investigation is still open and is pending the full medical examiner’s report. Here is a summary of the SPD investigation to date.
On 11/16/2023, Officers responded to a local urgent care after Zha’riyah became unresponsive. Upon arrival, Officers observed medical staff attempting life-saving measures. Zha’riyah was transported to a local hospital in critical condition, where she later passed away. Detectives from the Surprise Police Department responded, interviewed her guardian, medical staff, and executed a search warrant of Zha’riyah‘s residence. On 11/18/2023 an autopsy was conducted. While the full medical examiner’s report is not complete, the medical examiner did not find any obvious signs of new trauma.
Throughout this investigation, Surprise PD investigators have been in contact with Kenosha PD regarding Zha’riyah’s past family history.”

Timothy Stark, Zha’riyah’s Grandfather told KCE today that a weight was lifted off of his chest seeing Childress placed in handcuffs by Sheriff’s Deputies. “It’s a good thing and safer for the public,” Stark said after the hearing.
Stark told KCE that the Robinson family recently had a family reunion in Texas where Zha’riyah’s life was celebrated.
Childress is now without an attorney, as the Kenosha Public Defender’s Office has discovered a conflict, so the case is now in limbo, as attorneys are in short supply.
He is due back in court on July 15, 2024 to see if he’s secured an attorney.

Put him to sleep
The gun could be fake, the smoke could be cigarettes, and these photos could even pre-date the imposition of bond. For all we know, this defendant’s only bond violation was playing horrible, voice-distorted music (see video-clip, above). This all smells of after-the-fact, pretextual excuse-making: using a blurry picture of a fake gun to avoid admitting that KCE was right!
Well one less predator taken off the streets fake or real
You mean: One “more” predator taken off the streets? Once again, people, make some effort here!
The gun is real you can tell a real fun from a fake gun
Thank you
Obviously you don’t know the story Byyyyeee
He dont need bail, he violated that baby in every way imaginable. She was brave to speak boldly at her age telling just what he did. Why do people defend the wrong doer? Only person that should defend that person is a lawyer not even a mother. Stand by your child but hold them accountable and pray for them. Many don’t know that’s a sickness no one can heal that’s why it’s so many repeated offenders and she wasn’t his first victim, just his first brave victim that wasn’t threatened by his disgusting acts. May Zha’riyah R.I.P
That family full of bs. Since her grand dad want justice now where was he when the so called ma didn’t have her or working on getting her housing. Family wasn’t there then. Ppl talking they mess but if this boy guilty y wasn’t the family aware of these charges when it happen. Yall get your information right. This little girl family ain’t nothing down there in Kenosha but unreliable, irresponsible want to put the blame on another person. That mama of that little girl needs to be charged.
1st Off I Feel As If Your One Of His Upset Family Members. If Your Going To Talk , Lets NOT Be Anonymous & Say It With Your Chest. Your Coming For Us Like We Did It But You Not Saying Nothing About This 250 Lbs 16 YO Raping a 50lb 5 YO. We Are Her Voice Now & Whatever We Talking About Is Going To Get Heard. Wether You Like It Or Not. My Baby Will Get Justice ! #JusticeForZha’Riyah #LongLiveRiyah
Bitch the mother looks like a funky ass gorilla 🦍 250 lbs. Momma you are 300 having 5/6 kids and you give zero fucks about nun of them
My point exactly it seems as if whoever this anonymous person is, they sound like they’re justifying what happened
That boy took that baby’s innocence and she stood up and exposed him for the monster that he is so let’s not forget who’s the true hero of this story is and that’s baby Zhariyah a very powerful individual indeed and it’s because of her brave actions and the effort her mom AND family put in the situation that this monster is now receiving the penalty for his actions All Praises To The Most High for the family’s victory and I have a message for her grandpa and her mom…stay strong warriors and stay prayed up God bless ✊🏿😇🤍🙌🏿💯
If she was with her family it never would have happened
You said a mouthful and I agree the mother should be held accountable as well because how do you let someone else take your child who is not family “while you get your stuff together” then the run around about court custody etc etc you call to speak with your child and “couldnt” because her phone was broke what about the woman’s phone she couldn’t use hers it’s excuse after excuse to me and they really need to look and see if she’s a fit parent at this point for the other kids sake because why was she the only child gone with the woman where were the others why wasn’t she with her siblings there’s so many questions at this point she doesn’t need anymore kids if you have to put them off on others so you can get your shit together it should of been together this story made me mad as hell
U worried about the worried about the wrong shit sweetie
Not to mention she can’t get her story straight on why she passed her daughter off in the first place. First, it was her friend needed to claim the girl as a dependent to get housing, then it was because she didn’t have her own place. Which is it?.. If it’s number one that’s some type of fraud charge.
ALL WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE
Who are u bro u knew to leave that comment anonymously
This is a sad world when people take up for rapist I hope and pray it never happens in your lifetime because you will never understand how it feels to a family unleast you are a rapist yourself a Baby no longer in this world May God Have mercy on your soul. I said it.
I don’t believe he did it🅿️ her mother is a CHILD ABUSER WHO NEVER WANTED HER IN THE FIRST PLACE. 👌🏾 GOD MOTHER IS COVERING SOMETHING UP. THE BABY IS DIE AND NO ONE KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED TO HER BUT WHAT THE MOTHER’S FAMILY SAYS NOW THAT IS JUST COMING OUT AND WHAT’S TO BE APART OF SOMETHING NOW THAT THE BABY IS GONE WHERE WERE THEY WHEN THE MOTHER WAS OUT BEING A THOT ASS 🦍 NOWHERE THEY DON’T CARE ABOUT THAT BABY THEY JUST CARE ABOUT IF THEY FAMILY LOOKS BAD 🤦🏽♀️
The baby was clearly sexually assaulted per the article and the police atp you sound like that fat funky bastards mother get a life bitch it seems as if your covering for your little sex offender!
How don’t yu believe he did it when it clearly says the baby spoke about it the first time she got checked, and the first time they let him go… I don’t kno what brain you’re thinking with but it’s obviously stupid.
So it’s ok to RAPE babies?
N she didn’t accuse 5 other ppl that’s some shit jinquisha made up to protect a rapist when she was asked the question did anybody else ever touched u she said no just him so get yo fucking facts straight before talking u just as sick in yo own head to think u know anything
U must be some Kin to his disturbed ass🤓regardless of the fact this shit is bogus.. I hope u don’t have a daughter that ever has to experience this
Death justice
The mom was moving she left her godmother in charge of her . The godmother hid her feather for months. The mom didn’t know she was dead. The mom kept asking to speak to her daughter and the godmother was making excuses. They were in two different states at the time. Go to the mom’s Facebook page and look at the post. The mom has text message evidence. The godmother also moved and changed her phone number to where the mom couldn’t reach her anymore.
For months*
Michel letting him go free with cash less bail, you are a total piece of shit!
the mother also needs to be held accountable as well at this point because she was neglectful and not just this one time but many other occasions as well I pray for this baby and the other children in her custody as well
Oh she will be…if not in this life she will definitely have to stand before the Just Judge and receive judgement for her actions He sees all and He knows all and nobody gets away with anything 🔥🔥🔥🔥
It’s nit neglect if she gave her to someone she thought was responsible to care for her when she wasn’t capable. She thought her child would be protected, safe and be taking care of. You guys really need to stop because if she unalived her baby or was homeless sleeping on the streets or left her baby on the side of the road then it’ll be she’s evil and everything else. Some of you are 2sided. Plus it doesn’t changed the fact that he rated her. After investigation obviously they had evidence to back up theses allegations. That’s why he was charged. Not just hear say or the family making up things. You can tell a bunch of you guys brain don’t work unless somebody shake it
The mother needs to be charged for AS all this family the baby so called had where we’re they when the mother was out being a party animal and didn’t want her kids
Pos mothafukka
He never touched that baby!! Just like that Lil girl accused 5 other people of touching her! What about the 5 other guys who “touched” her? No one is talking about that!!!! This little boy didn’t do nothing. Yall wanna know what happened with this Lil girl? You guys are saying he did it. But how is this possible. Do yall know the real cause of this Lil girls death??? No you going off this goof ahh article! She passed away from acute peritonitis. Then the God mama was hiding the death from the mama. That’s a Lil suss to me
So it’s ok to RAPE babies?just curious how you know what she died of if the medical examiners report isn’t back? Not trying to argue with you just very curious.
The medical examine has been back for months it’s public knowledge you can look it up and request it and they will email it to you! Her cause of death was natural she went septis because of an infection it happened in surprise arizona you can look it up for yourself
You must be his mother or family did you help your son because you need to be in jail right next to him. And who ever had part in it to myself you know a lot I think you did it are you rape your child. I Said It.
N she didn’t accuse 5 other ppl that’s some shit jinquisha made up to protect a rapist when she was asked the question did anybody else ever touched u she said no just him so get yo fucking facts straight before talking u just as sick in yo own head to think u know anything
God mom did not hide the mother was informed you seen it proving the god mom did not hide any thing
Facts
Nobody else was arrested so obviously they had evidence upon investigation. That’s the reason she’s dead. For telling on her rapist
You must be a rapist are you been rape to take up for a raper how do you even fix your mouth when a child is no longer here you sick in your on head. I Said It.
This disease infested piece of steaming shit needs to be in prison immediately.
He did it and he need to burn in hell for eternity
Facts
And the family knew he did it., why do you think she was taken all the way around the world while she was sick, they so called up and moved away after it happened .., The so called god mother kept lying to the mother when the mom would call & reach out to speak to her child., she sleep the phone is broke I can only text ect.. even after the baby passed away that devil lied and she she was busy having fun doing other things ,the charger/phone broke and couldn’t hold a charge ect.this is after the baby passed away .,That winch didn’t even tell her that the baby passed away ., she played like everything was fine.. while that winch fled and went to a different state know that baby would pass away & than lied & told the funeral home that her parents were dead to get her cremated (because you need the parents authorization to do so) to cover up the damage and DNA that was visible!!!.., That whole family is sick!!! I hope he kill’s himself in there because he can’t handle all that they do to him ., I hope they torture him and he has a slow and painful death!!!
Dakari and riyah both went to the hospital Aug 22nd when it supposably happened to have a SA kit done so there was nothing to cover up!
This Definitely One Of His Family Members Because Don’t Nobody Call My Baby Riyah Unless You Know Her Personally & DONT None Of Y’all Know Her Personally. HER NAME IS ZHA’RIYAH To You! Take Up For The Lil Rapist. Same Way You Had Cameras In Your Crib & The Day It Happened. The Cameras Was Off!
His mother is with the bs if my son was a predator I would feed his ass to the wolves take is ass y’all know this baby didn’t lie she told them exactly how he did her not once but twice r.I.p baby girl
And when the DNA comes back and there was none found then what? This ratchet ass family done tarnished the boys name are they going to apologize? Are they gonna go after all the other people she accused? Kevin on 61st, tim, Cory etc no they can’t cause she’s no longer here to tell the real story! Clearly this baby was neglected from day one her pussy popping mama should never had kids in the first place I mean she got shot and that still wasn’t enough for her being a better mother to her kids as soon as she recovered she was back to running the streets well every tom dick and Harry watched her responsibilities! This precious baby was failed from day one! They didn’t care till she was dead now that she’s gone you care? Make it make sense! When that DNA comes back with nothing matching that young man I hope the family of Dakari sues this ratchet ass family for everything!
If all those people so called touch her why she only say his name ? Huh you can’t charge nobody without having proof. And we should sue them for everything the so called mama said everybody was home so if everybody was home why tf nobody speaking tf up then. SHOW THE CAMERAS YOU HAD IN YOUR HOUSE THEN. Oh okay then stfu he did it and yall know it and yall sick asf too go straight to hell
This is beyond me ppl still worried bout the wrong shit wat her mother did in life don’t give no over grown looking boy 2 touch her baby n that’s facts n riyah never said shit like that jinquisha said that shit to cover up wat the fuck dakari did cuz if she was touch before y didn’t it come out right away now when these charges come up against this boy now everyone then touched her n like her mother everyone could get tested n take a lie detector so that’s not true so stop with bs
All that was barely literate.
If the family had working cameras in the home police would have took them so if there was cameras then they already have the footage
How the only day a baby was rape the camera didn’t work at there home this is a? That needs to be answered. I Said it.
Why you have so much to say say it in the family face I know you are his family and you are a rapist to. I Said It.Fuck That Rapist Boy And His Family And Anyone That Fuck With Them. I Said It.
YOU KNOW SO MUCH ABOUT ME But Don’t Know Me. You Listening To The Next Person. Same Way I Found Out About My Baby Being Raped & Killed. But THE Thing Is You SAYING Stuff That Isn’t Proven! What I Say ARE Facts! It’s Written Down! My Baby Told Detectives, Doctors, DCFS Only DAKARI Touched Her. So Why Are You Naming All These People That She Didn’t Tell It To The Police. My Baby Was Taken To The Hospital & Wasn’t Sexually Assaulted Until AUGUST 22nd When DAKARI Did It!

Great News! Apparently a good, honest and ballsy Judge had to amend another fuck up of the very infamous William Michel II aka loser Bill. Only in a place like Kenosha suck an idiot like him can be picket to be a Commissioner
I am glad for the little girl’s family, God bless her soul. Justice finally is being served!
Thanks for keeping an eye👁️ on this one, Kevin.
Why did this happen I don’t know lord Rest that lil baby soul God going to have the last word.
I have a question why that lil fuck boy and his mother have to go to the hospital they same day and give saliva and DNA and they had to give a blood test let’s talk facts know big mouth I know you know I know. Your Family Is All Look at that Incest, daughter, you have by your own dad and the rest of your kids by your brother How your dad is also, your brother and your uncle is your cousin and then you fuck with Nigger
One More Fact his mother impersonated the mother of the baby to help the God Mother get the baby do you know his mother was The notary of the paperwork that never got sent and she’s the one that signed it, the mother of the fucking rape, it boy let’s talk Facts
jinquesha love that baby more than her own mother the mother and her fmaily are frauds and cover ups
How Someone LOVE A Baby But Never Take Them To The Hospital , Lied About Where She Was At , Cover Up A Rape & Death For Months , Lie To The Attorney / Judge , NEVER Show Up For Court , NEVER Took Her To Therapy For The Rape , Didn’t Take Her Back To The Hospital The 1st Time She Was Suppose To Go Back , Run Away From DCFS , Should I Continue? Where Was The Love? Seems To Me Like A Person Running From Something. The LIST Goes On & On .. & You Dont Know Anything About My Parenting So You Don’t Know Who & What I Love.
That not true that girl took care of that baby and not 1 time did she lie you and your family are the liars and are trying to take eyes off of yourselves that is not going to happen, that girl is not the blame and you can’t put that on herNobody believe what you said is lie you have different storyline each time grow up
You damn sure do not love those kids you pos
This is a sad world when you take up for a rapist it might be happening in your own family right now. Now question how would you feel if you wake up in the morning and it’s your child and your child has be rape would you want people to say fuck you and your family you need to reevaluate your life.I Said It.
Hood people don’t care. It’s “them” against everyone else in their mind.
Oh, how dare you white people get big feelings just because my dindonuffin son raped someone.
Facts how did they charge him with first degree without anything I’ll wait.
This case is a prime example of ghetto parenting. This little girl was fucking innocent and it sounds like she had shitty ass parents (gee, big shocker).
In terms of this kid….its not hard to tell he is a piece of shit whether he did it or not. It’s just a matter of time before he hurts someone else it sounds like. You all should be fucking ashamed of yourselves you fucking animals.
Yeah, Happy Juneteenth….what a fucking joke.
bet you it was not his first time at the rape rodeo
So the rape happened in Kenosha, but she died in Arizona? Something isn’t adding up. I hope the family gets answers.
She Was Taken To Arizona November 1st & Died 2 Weeks Later.
I’m so saddened that this happened to your baby. Please don’t give these people your energy. Everything will come out in the end. Save your energy for the upcoming court appearance. That’s draining enough without letting his family/friends/supporters upset you. They don’t get to have that power over you.
Be well.
When the police and detectives investigate they investigate EVERYONE ! My thing is ,, if he didn’t do it how is it that he’s being charged ? You can NOT charge someone without proof !!! So everyone who defending this boy should be ashamed ! & yall keep trying to place blame on this person and that person when a little baby innocences were violated and is now gone !!!! Just because her mother trusted someone while she do what she does , that boy knew better and made a choice . That god mother should have picked up the phone when she first found out it happened and told the mother what was going on… rather I’m scared to tell her or not that’s some serious shit and needed to be communicated rather she upset with me or ready to whoop my a$$ . Accept shit for what it is and stop going back and forth off your own opinions ! That god mom failed her and yall claim the mother not a mother but it came this far because she didn’t give up on her child so called didn’t care for. May god bring this family peace and aloud this little baby to rest peacefully !!!! Leave it to the detectives , judges and Lawyers to do their job or take yall opinionated a$$es and go get a license to state yall opinions.
Mother was informed she is liar pos!
Talk What You Know This Shi Happen AUGUST 22nd and NOVEMBER 16th. I Was Informed Of The Death March 26th & Rape March 27th. Don’t Tell What I Know. I Was INFORMED In MARCH!
The girl janquesha show proof you knew a lot already you pos!
Question ? Why you going so hard when you have nothing to do with it ?? You can strongly come for someone if you heard word from mouth . You’re being insensitive and that’s scary ! Ian trying to argue or make you feel like I’m coming at you , how ever you Judging and that’s corny work
Mom , don’t give people your energy ! You already dealing with a lot when it comes to your daughter , she need your energy ! Please pray 🙏🏾 ! && Continue to stay strong for yourself and your babies .
Good luck in the feds titty boy
