TAVARES, Fla. (WFLA) – Police are releasing images of objects used in a Florida child abuse case that put a 10-year-old in danger.
On February 22, officers made a Health Waterman appear around 10pm regarding a 10-year-old boy with cardiac arrest, and was covered in visible bruises and burns, Tavares police said.
The boy’s mother, Kimberly Mills and her boyfriend Andre Walker, bring him to the hospital, but it turns out that the officer is on the way.
Kimberly later returned to the hospital with his child’s younger brother.
The detective spoke to his younger brother and revealed details of the abuse.
The brother told the detective that he and his brother suffered “unspeakable suffering.”
After suffering from “terrifying abuse,” he was 10 years old. Mother, man has been arrested
Police say the search for the house reveals evidence including a six-foot ladder, 10 pounds of weight and duct tape.
The red sweatshirt in the photo has duct tape around the arms, while the gray sweatpants have duct tape around the ankles. Both of these were found outside in the trash can.
Police say the 10-year-old’s hand was tied over his head, which left him vulnerable.
The detective also found a thick insulated copper wire in the 10-year-old bedroom that was used to harm both boys.
Kimberly and Andre have been arrested and face multiple charges of aggravated child abuse, neglect and tampering with evidence, police said.
Ten years olds still may be unconsciously in danger.
