The little boy was ‘choked under water,’ had bruises ‘too numerous to count,’ and died of blunt trauma to the head while living with ‘transgender’ male ‘co-parents.’ The murdered boy, 7-year-old William Evans-Ellis, was reportedly being groomed to become “transgender” by the adults in the home. According to law enforcement, the boy’s body showed evidence that he was brutally tortured and beaten for two months. “The cause of death for this little boy was blunt trauma to the head,” she said. The boy’s father was estranged from the boy’s mother and had been deprived of visits with his son for the past nine months.
