GA - Boy, 6, accused of stealing money & beat for days until unconscious by mom’s b/f as she watched, Atlanta, June 2023 *arrests*

[cjm11]

Why would a six year old steal $80? Kids that age don't understand money. The roommate must have put the boy up to it. But let's beat the six year because he can't fight back. Where was the roommate at when all of this was going on?

Father forgives mother, her boyfriend for beating his 6-year-old son

The father of a six-year-old who police say was brutally beaten by a Clayton County woman's boyfriend is sharing how the boy is doing after months in the hospital.

CLAYTON COUNTY, Ga. - The father of a six-year-old who police say was brutally beaten by a Clayton County woman's boyfriend is sharing how the boy is doing after months in the hospital.

It's still a long journey for the boy as authorities say two people face multiple charges in connection with the crime.

"I have forgiven. It's a hard thing to do, but it's all in God's hands now," Bishop Cardwell said.

It wasn't easy, but Bishop Cardwell says he has forgiven the mother of his child and her boyfriend after Clayton County police say they nearly killed his 6-year-old son in June.
[.....]
"He's actually made a lot of progress," Cardwell said.

There's a glimmer of hope as positive progress is being made in the recovery of the six-year-old who has been in a hospital for months.

"My son is actually in physical therapy, and although he's not able to walk on his own or not verbal. He's making some great progress thus far,' Cardwell said.



The cases for Ates & Wells have not moved any since their last hearing in August. So do not know what is going on with them...

Bbm.
Ughh.
Prayers for this little guy.

 

[tlcya]

I applaud the father's ability to forgive. Not sure I would possess that. I still hope these perps are put away for a long time for this.

 

[Niner]

Well I am having problems trying find these two in the Superior Court section. They are not coming up. Their cases were in Circuit court & transferred (8/4/23) to Superior.

Here is the link - if anyone wants to try & find them.

TIA if anyone can find something!

 

[tlcya]

It's weird. I see that they have been bound over to superior, but a search doesn't reveal a case number in superior for either. This was bound over in August so surely it should have hit the superior docket by now??
