The parents of a 15-year-old California girl are being charged with a hate crime after they allegedly kidnapped and abused their daughter's boyfriend after they found him hiding in the home, according to police.
The victim was visiting the girl at her home when the family members arrived around 2:30 a.m. that morning, police said. They then"became irate and started assaulting" him, according to the release. The girl's parents also allegedly yelled racial slurs throughout the attack, causing the teen, who is black, to believe his race"to be a motivating factor in the attack," police said. All of the suspects are of Hispanic descent, police said.
"They were so scared because they found someone in the closet," Belkys Gomez told ABC San Francisco affiliate KGO."They jumped because everyone was sleeping and this guy started kicking my stepfather and trying to kill him."
