A 12-year-old girl who was viciously beaten at a friend's birthday party in West Baltimore emerged from a coma yesterday as authorities continued to piece together what happened and who participated in the violence.

Five people -- two women and three teens -- have been charged in the incident, accused of kicking, stomping on and punching Nicole Ashley Townes until she was bloodied and unconscious.

Nicole, who lives in the 400 block of Lyndhurst St., had been in a coma since the attack Feb. 28. She was listed in critical condition last night at Johns Hopkins Children's Center.

She is breathing on her own and responding to questions with a thumbs-up or thumbs-down, said Detective Donny Moses of the Baltimore Police Department.

Monique Baldwin, 36, of the 500 block of Loudon Ave., and Erin Baldwin, 19, address unknown, were charged with attempted murder, assault and false imprisonment, court documents show. Both women are being held without bail in the city jail.

The motivation for the attack was that a boy kissed Nicole on a dare during the birthday party at the home of Monique Baldwin, according to the documents.

"It was that kiss," Moses said yesterday. "None of it makes sense to me. They got angry over that kiss."
