A shocking video made rounds on the Internet on Thursday, June 18, leaving social media rattled by the harrowing abuse of a preteen because of his sexuality. Identified as Tyler, the 12-year-old boy from Atlanta, Georgia, can be seen getting abused and beaten by at least four people towering over him while another person films the Instagram live. Tyler is seen on camera wearing a red shirt, with his arms crossed across his chest in an alert stance, flinching every time the man next to him moves his arm. The reason behind Tyler's fear is soon outed as verbal abuse leads to slaps and aggravated hitting from the man next to the young boy.

On July 16, following a month-long investigation by the Atlanta Police Department's Special Victims Unit, three members of the family were arrested and charged with child abuse. They have been identified as Lorkeyla Spencer, 19; Brittney Mills, 35, and Jordan Richards-Nwankwo.

The boy has also been removed from his family's home by the Georgia Division of Family and Children.

“The behavior in this social media post was difficult to watch and is absolutely unacceptable,” the Atlanta Police Department said in a statement.

2. I feel sick. I do hope this young boy will be placed in a loving home.

3. I saw this the other day.

I’ve seen it written on du that minorities are never bigoted.

I disagree. Strongly.

Almost as if it was staged
edit: it’s progressed to the circle jerk stage

5. Beating the shit out of an innocent kid just to get fucking likes on Instagram????

WTF! Lock all of these assholes up!

6. This thread will drop quickly.

Imagine if it had been MAGA types who did this despicable thing. Smh.

8. Social media has turned people into freaking animals.

It's just a contest to see who can get the most likes by doing stupid and/or horrible things. Before Facebook and Instagram came along, I never realized just how many truly awful people walk among us.

11. Afraid these freaking animals have ALREADY been here

Social media has just allowed them to come forward.

9. There'd be dozens of passionate responses. Nt

10. May they receive a long prison sentence.

May Tyler find a loving home.

12. Sigh

It's satanic enough they did it.

But to be so proud about it that you're tossing it on social media? So, no humanity at all then, eh?

At least they get to rot for a little while. People aren't fond of child abusers.
