This is a very sad situation that has occurred, I don't understand how a parent can go to this extent. Violence should never be the answer, regardless of sexual orientation. Let's hope the boy can recover and find help.
It is very sad that there are still situations like this nowadays, especially between family members. Violence should never be a solution, and I hope that the boy can receive help and support after this bad experience.
