Three adults have been charged with child cruelty after footage of a 12-year-old Atlanta boy being taunted and assaulted before having the word “gay” shaved into the side of his head with hair clippers went viral.
A clip of the disturbing incident was later posted to Instagram Live and widely shared, leading to a criminal investigation and an outpouring of shock among the Black community in Atlanta.
On the video, a man can be seen grabbing the child by his T-shirt while questioning him about his sexuality on the porch of a home.
