A three-year-old boy in Indiana is in hospital fighting for his life after he was allegedly viscously beaten by his 12-year-old babysitter.
Noah Brown is on life support at the Riley Children’s Hospital in Indianapolis after he was attacked with a belt and smashed into a wall on November 29.
He was sedated because of his head injury and has suffered multiple seizures due to the violent attack, according to McClatchy News.
The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department arrested a young boy over the incident and charged him with aggravated assault, personal weapons, and four counts of battery.
Noah's grandmother, Candy King, claimed the babysitter has anger issues and attacked him because he started to cry.

Noah was left with the 12-year-old boy before he was brutally assaulted, according to King.
'[The 12-year-old] has anger issues and Noah started to cry,' the grandmother said.
'[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's head was then rammed into a nearby wall before he got up, ran away and collapsed under a bed.
His mother Michelle Lane said: 'He has had to be placed in life support and has had a part of his skull removed due to the intensity of his injuries.
'They have him sedated because of his head injury. They don’t want him to get too worked up and stuff.'
Grandmother King added: 'The doctor’s are removing the breathing tube and neck brace to see if he can breathe on his own all the way and they stopped the sedation medicine [cause] they want him to wake up fully.'
The three-year-old has a long road to recovery ahead of him, which is complicated as he was battling Covid at the time of the attack.

His mother said: '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 was described as being happy and full of live before the attack.
'On the go, he loves everyone. He will brighten up your day, that’s for sure,' his grandmother said.
'He’s energetic. He’s a happy little three-year-old. He wouldn’t harm nobody, and nothing keeps that kid down.'
She said she wants to share what happened to Noah to make sure it never happens to anyone else.
His mother Lane has created an online petition to get a law introduced in Indiana to make the minimum age of babysitting 16 years old.
