Ethan was only five when Wesley cornered and beat him up at the playground outside their kindergarten.
It started simply enough - while Ethan was queuing for the school bus, he accidentally knocked over Wesley's backpack. Wesley's new toy model fell out and broke.
The two brothers, though cruel, weren't stupid. Wesley, seeing that Adrian wasn't around and little Ethan was vulnerable without his protector, immediately gathered over a dozen classmates and trapped Ethan in a corner.
What started as pushing and shoving between children quickly escalated into a full-blown fight.
Ethan was small and skinny back then, no match for Wesley even on a good day. The older boys were deliberately cruel, showing no restraint. Soon, little Ethan was crying helplessly on the ground as Wesley and the other boys rained down punches on him.
He could only cry and whimper while trying to shield himself from their blows.
