⚠️ WARNING: This post contains graphic descriptions of child abuse.

Disturbing video allegedly captured former US Marine Zachary Perez, 42, repeatedly kicking & ferociously yanking his 6-year-old stepson on a dog leash during two days of horrific torture in Miami, Florida. Home surveillance footage, released by the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office, reportedly shows Perez parading the youngster with a pink leash wrapped around his neck, aggressively jerking him backward to the ground, & seemingly chasing him with a stick.

Other videos allegedly show Perez kicking the boy as he ran through the living room & viciously booting him in the stomach onto a bed. Prosecutors described Perez, an Iraq War vet, as a "ticking time bomb." The alleged abuse left the boy with swollen eyes from being punched, scratches, a rash on his neck from the collar, & marks from tree branches used to whip him. He was also allegedly forced to walk outside wearing a backpack filled with rocks.

The youngster’s mother, Barbara Perez, claimed in court her son now suffers from PTSD, a traumatic brain injury, & hearing problems due to the alleged cruelty. Since Zachary Perez’s arrest in May for aggravated child abuse, multiple individuals, including his 14-year-old daughter, have reportedly come forward with additional allegations of abuse. 

Perez was initially denied bail but was released on house arrest on June 10, ordered to stay at least XXX feet from his stepson & the boy's mother.
