A 25 year old woman is being tried for the murder of her four year old son, she has been charged with murder, murder by abuse and second degree assault. Prosecutors say her son died as the result of a blunt force trauma and a delay in his medical treatment.
She believed he was gay.
Zachary died in August 2012, days after collapsing at the homeless shelter where his family was living southwest of Portland.
In a Facebook message accepted in evidence, Dutro told her boyfriend, Brian Canady, that Zachary was "facing the wall" because he had made her angry. Her son was going to be gay, she wrote, using a slur. "He walks and talks like it. Ugh."
Canady would have to "work on" Zachary, she wrote.
The message established Dutro's motive for inflicting a pattern of abuse, prosecutor Megan Johnson said. Dutro assaulted three of her children, but Zachary received the harshest treatment, authorities said.

I wonder what the USAian politicians and others who spew homophobic garbage think, will they take responsibility for inculcating attitudes like this?
