https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2024/09/this-dad-beat-up-his-2-year-old-son-for-acting-gay-hes-going-away-for-a-long-time/

In Texas, a 23-year-old father of five was sentenced to six years in prison for severely beating his two-year-old son because he thought the toddler was gay.

Francisco Ricardo Sotello Baez was charged with family violence and assault after admitting to striking his young son in the face multiple times, causing him to bleed from the nose.

Judge Stephanie Boyd of the 187th District Court in Bexar County agreed with the prosecutions recommendation for six years behind bars, citing previous incidents of domestic violence, including assaulting his sons mother, which earlier earned Sotello Baez probation and court-mandated courses to address his violent behavior.

Judge Boyd expressed disappointment those interventions had failed to modify the defendants conduct.

A police report and his testimony at sentencing revealed Sotello Baezs actions toward his son were not an isolated incident. The father had repeatedly disciplined the child in an attempt to toughen him up, claiming he was concerned about the boy acting in a feminine manner.

Sotello Baez said the child preferred playing with Barbies and kitchen sets over the robots, cars, and soccer balls he had brought home for the boy.

He told the judge he was disappointed his first son might be gay.

Judge Boyd was visibly exasperated with the explanation.

Basically, you beat up a two-year-old because you think your two-year-old is gay, and you wanna toughen up a two-year-old, the judge said. Hes two!

The police report also indicated that Sotello Baez had texted the boys mother after he assaulted him, saying that he had done something to your child that she wasnt going to like.

He explained to the court that both the childs mother and grandmother had told him the boy might turn out to be gay.

His defense attorney argued for leniency, noting for the judge that Sotello Baez had pleaded no contest and was applying for deferred adjudication, a type of probation that would allow Sotello Baez to continue to provide for his family.

The state pushed the judge for a six-year prison sentence, noting the severity of the crime and the long-term impact on the child.

The dad addressed the court and expressed remorse, explaining he had a newborn to take care of and had been attending church to turn his life around. He also blamed his actions in part on drug and alcohol abuse, which he said impaired his judgment.

While handing out the six-year term, Judge Boyd issued several restrictions on Sotello Baez, barring him from contact with his son, any of his other children, and any minors during and after his incarceration. The judge also advised him not to illegally re-enter the country following his release. He is not a U.S. citizen.

Makes me grateful my parents never beat me whenever I pretended to be Cinderella as a kid

Same. I even got a Ken doll as a present at least once. Guess what? Heterosexual. Crazy, I know. Though this reminds me of how my sister will still sometimes try to make fun of me by telling people that I played with Barbies, as if it wasn't because she had them and wanted to play with me. My family is ass-backwards conservative, too, so I guess I'm lucky I only got slapped and spanked every once in a while instead of beaten like this poor kid.

Why am I not surprised?

I hope this asshole has fun for the next few years. Child abusers aren't treated kindly in prison. But maybe getting shanked will "toughen him up".

It sounds like the judge was (rightfully) appalled, so I'm shocked that he only got 6 years.

I played with barbies and I have a sex addiction.

But I was also playing 'house' with barbies with other girls and I was like 7 lol...

Either way, that's messed up. He says he was going to church to turn his life around but wouldn't you think it would be the church who would worsen his behavior?

Also, who cares how he turns out? Aren't you supposed to love your children? As a man, I hate men. I hate women too but guys are worse somehow.

based on the crime yes. state limits to what they can sentence them to (should be 18+ years imo) better yet let him rot in prison for the rest of his life.

Yeah, I know. It's weird how easy they take their own sins as long as it isn't about being gay or something. It's so weird that people will be alright with rape or murder in some form because as long as he's not putting his dick in another man's dick....it's okay.

Everyone is biased when it comes to their own behavior. Thats human nature. The problem is that they lack basic empathy

6 years sounds too low. Sounds like he beats every family member up. Mom needs to leave him.

But kinda sad to see them think playing with Barbies = gay. Maybe he lied but mom and grandma claimed to say that.

I'm not just referring to their own behavior but other people's behavior as well. For some reason, being gay is like the biggest sin, even bigger than murder because that's the one they're so gung-ho over.

Otherwise, why would a lot of these 'good' christians all be pro-death penalty?
