Father Charged With Abandoning “Gay” Child Outside Closed Police Station For Them To Find Him New Family

Tampa’s ABC News affiliate reports:

A father who police say left his juvenile son on the side of the road because he suspects his son is gay is due in court Tuesday. The incident occurred Sunday, Haines City Police say in an affidavit.

The boy, whose age was redacted, was dropped off in front of the closed police department with a small duffel bag with several pieces of clothing, according to police. The boy had no food, water, or money with him.

An officer dispatched to the location said the boy was very upset and crying. According to the report, the boy told the officer that his father, 30-year-old Evenaud Julmeus, thinks he is gay because his father found him “watching male pornography on his cell phone.”

According to the charging documents, the father told the child to pack a bag because the police were going to find him a new family.

The father reportedly fled the home before police arrived, resulting in additional charges regarding other small children left unattended.
