College Park Teen Beaten and Tortured by his Older Brother and Wife in Seattle

The Fox News affiliate in Seattle is reporting that Brandon Gunn, 27, and his wife Viviana Gunn, 34, have been arrested for beating and torturing 13 year-old Jordan Gunn in the family's Seattle, Washington home.

According to WSB, the 13 year-old lived with his mother in College Park until recently.  He was sent to Seattle to live with his older brother this past May, presumably due to some disciplinary issues.

The extended family, which lives in Douglas County, GA, told WSB, "we've been crying for days," Jordan's aunt Marsha Thomas-Jones told Willis. "My sister is devastated because she sent her son to an environment that she thought would help him."

The boy told investigators he was beaten with a bat and even had a nail driven through his hand. The teen said the abuse only stopped when he managed to escape by biting through his restraints.

Seattle police investigators told reporters that the beatings lasted for hours, and when an officer finally found him wandering around after escaping from his restraints, he needed to be rushed to the hospital.  The 13 year-old is currently in protective custody in Seattle.

Cascade Patch was made aware of a website the family has set up in order to raise funds ($5000) for the mother to be able to get out to Seattle to see her son and take him home.
