Authorities say the child’s guardian and the child’s brother face felony assault and other charges. 9News
The guardian and brother of a 12-year-old boy are charged with child abuse in a North Carolina case in which authorities say the boy was beaten and then duct-taped to a chair.
Iredell County Sheriff Darren Campbell said that the boy suffered an orbital fracture when one person held his hands his back while a second person struck him in the face with a fist. They say the child then was duct-taped to a chair and left there overnight. Authorities say the child’s guardian, 71-year-old Frances Kay Campbell Miller, and the child’s brother, 20-year-old Dustin Webb Miller, face felony assault and other charges.
Dave Faherty, a journalist with US-based Channel 9, spoke with Dustin Miller outside the home and asked him about the allegations. “A lot of people took this out of proportion, blown it. Nobody wanted my side of the story, so here I am. I love my brother. I guess we’ll find out once this all gets sorted out,” Dustin Miller said.Related Articles
