VILLA RICA, Ga. — A Carroll County mother said her 15-year-old son was attacked and beaten with a belt by a man who lives in her sister's neighborhood, and the incident was caught on video.
The video, which Maliyk Sim's mother said is hard to watch, shows the intensity of the situation and how her son responded to the violence.
"I was just panicked. I could not believe that in 2021 a fully grown man would think that it was OK to come outside with a belt," said Latika Sim.
