Andre Brown Jr. Tried To "Beat The Gay" Out Of 5YO Boy

According to a news release from the Polk County Sheriff's Office, the investigation began when a 9-year-old girl in Brown's care contacted her mother to report that the 5-year-old was being abused, later sending a text message that read, "I'm scared, he's whooping him so hard, I'm scared."

During interviews with investigators, the children described a pattern of escalating violence. Deputies said Andre Brown Jr. became angry with the 5-year-old boy "for being gay" and responded by "slamming him on the ground multiple times." He then allegedly turned his anger on the other two children in the home, striking all three with a belt over what authorities described as a prior incident.

When deputies arrived, they allegedly found visible injuries on all three children. The 5-year-old victim suffered the most severe harm, with marks and bruising covering his legs, arms, back, and stomach, along with a fractured right wrist and a contusion on his forehead, police said, adding that the other children also had bruising on their arms and legs.

According to the sheriff's office, the youngest victim appeared terrified during his interview and was reluctant to speak further, telling investigators he was "afraid of Brown."

Authorities said Brown admitted to targeting the child because of his sexual orientation.

"Brown told deputies that he decided to whoop the victim because the victim was gay," the release states. "He advised he would 'beat the gay out of him if possible, but since it wasn't possible he would beat him more.'"

Investigators determined the attack met the criteria for a hate crime, elevating the severity of the charge.

What an evil troll!! I am impressed that they termed this a “hate crime “ ! Hope it means he will spend twice as much time in prison! There he may meet men who are gay and will beat him! Props to the little girl who reported this, she saved his life!
