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.
