Man with Special Needs ‘Tied Up & Tortured’ on Facebook Live in Chicago

Chicago - Jan 4, 2017 - Four people are in custody after a “disturbing” and “brutal” video showing a man with “mental health challenges” being tied up, beaten and tortured was streamed live on Facebook “for the entire world to see,” Chicago Police say.

Since the news broke on this terrible event, I have struggled in posting information on this crime. I have chosen not to post any of the disturbing video here. With many articles I have read, a very detailed article, along with Very Disturbing Video has been reported by Heavy news at:
