A Palm Coast man is accused of beating his nine-year-old son after he and his younger brother made several iPad app purchases.
Deputies said Andrew Atkerson picked up his son and threw him against the walls and closets in their home on Feb 3. The alleged beating left bruises under both of the boy's eyes, his left hip, and his upper back right shoulder.
When Atkerson was questioned about the bruises, he told the Florida Department of Children and Families , "I might have over punished them a little bit."
