Florida man charged with beating 5-year-old boy 'for being gay'
""This was a brutal and hateful attack on a defenseless child. There is absolutely no excuse for it," said Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd. "We will make sure justice is served, and these children get the safety and support they deserve.""
""I'm scared," the girl wrote, "he's whooping him so hard, I'm scared." This text prompted a report to the Sheriff's Office, leading to an investigation into the abuse."
"The 5-year-old told investigators Brown was mad at him "for being gay." He suffered severe bruising, a wrist fracture, and a contusion, indicating the extent of the abuse."
Andre Brown Jr. was arrested for aggravated child abuse after allegedly beating a 5-year-old boy, leaving severe bruises and a wrist fracture. The abuse was reported by a 9-year-old girl who texted her mother out of fear. Investigators found evidence of abuse on all three children in Brown's care, with the 5-year-old suffering the most severe injuries. Authorities emphasized the brutality of the attack and the need for justice and support for the affected children.
