Police in Brazil have opened an investigation after a young teenage boy sent a desperate letter to his neighbors begging them for help from his abusive homophobic father.

“Have you ever felt like you’re not good for anyone? I’m feeling it. It hurts a lot here,” the 14-year-old boy, who lives in the city of Jataí, wrote. “Please, help me.”

The adolescent went on to say he is in the “greatest despair of my life” then alleged his father was abusing him for being gay.


After receiving the letter, the neighbors witnessed the father shouting at his son, which they recorded.

“I’m tired of telling you. Didn’t I already tell you to change?” the father can be heard yelling in the tape. “You have to change! Do you know why? Because if you don’t change, I will kill you! I will blow you up!”

2. I'm glad their Supreme Court ruled to make acts of

homophobia and transphobia illegal. Wish they would get rid of Bolsonaro, the Trump of the Tropics. As we've seen in the U.S., a national leader can have a lot of sway over his supporters. Hope that 'father' is forced to pay for his son's care until he can take care of himself.
