A mother was arrested after she was accused of killing her 4-year-old adopted son. Sheriff Grady Judd from the Polk County Sheriff’s Office held a news conference Wednesday afternoon where he explained how Patricia Saintizaire, 36, abused 4-year-old Bryan Boyer and even threw him in a pool with his hands tied behind his back. She is facing multiple charges including first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse and tampering with a witness. “He’s dead because she beat him to death,” Judd said. The incident that led to Boyer's death happened on May 1 when he died after emergency surgery. Doctors operating on the boy at Orlando Health found he had an abdominal bleed and his stomach was filled with blood.
