The film shows 12-year-old beaten in Essex by a group of children, the father calls for responsibility

The police of the Baltimore Flames lodged against five of the eight minors involved in a violent assault on a 12-year-old boy, Kayson Longo, at Kings Mill Apartments in Essex last Friday. The accused are at least 13 years old or younger.

The incident, captured to a video from a mobile phone and widespread in social media, shows that Kayson was hit, thrown to the ground, kicked and pulling pants by a group of young boys. Tony Longo, Kayson’s father, said on Wednesday: “At this point he is very surprised” when his son regains physically and mentally after the attack.

Tony Longo only learned about the film only this week after his disclosure. He said that his son did not tell him about the incident at first, but he left the house without permission that day. He says that Kayson was confronted by a classmate in an apartment complex, accused of calling a girl from a class, which led to the assault.

“Then you know that there are 15 children surrounding Kayson on a regular basis brutally,” said Tony Longo. Now he calls for responsibility, saying: “Regardless of whether you are young or adult, there must be consequences,” said Longo. “This kind of behavior is unacceptable. Beating my son, and then feel like you can take his clothes from him, beat him with clothes, he still beat him, “he added.

Longo expressed his frustration-his anger quickly turned to sadness, fighting with tears about what his son suffered, saying: “Bruises. As a father, I felt helpless … and I’m trying to protect my family. ” He added: “Pain and the thought that my son remained helpless … beaten. 15 children, his clothes … such things. It’s very worrying for me, I don’t want to see how it happened to any man, especially a child. “

In E -Mail on Wednesday evening, the police said that due to the age of three minors, state law forbade them to bring them against them. They also said that on the basis of provided information the incident is not considered a hate crime.
