A man was charged with child abuse after investigators said he hit a 7-year-old boy 62 times within five minutes in Acres Homes.
The incident was reported at 5 p.m. Thursday at an illegal dumping site near the man's apartment in northwest Houston.
"He saw a vehicle pull up at one of our illegal dumping sites and saw a man get out of a car and take a young child out of the car and proceed to just beat him senselessly,” said Constable Alan Rosen with Harris County Precinct 1 Constable's Office.
