A 3-year-old Indiana boy is on life support, clinging to life weeks after a brutal assault at the hands of a 12-year-old boy who was babysitting him.

Noah Brown was beaten with a belt and slammed into a wall by the preteen babysitter who grew upset because of his crying.

The toddler was sedated and had a part of his skull removed following the November 29 incident that left him with a severe head injury.

    “[The 12-year-old] has anger issues and Noah started to cry. [He] couldn’t handle it so he beat him with a belt and threw him towards the bed and his head hit the bed frame of the bunk bed.”

    Noah was reportedly battling Covid at the time of the assault which complicates his recovery.

    “It’s not guaranteed what his quality of life is going to be but we’re praying and hoping for the best that he comes out just fine,” Noah’s mom said.
