By: News 8 Austin Staff


Caleb and Joshua Thompson were released from jail Wednesday after posting bond.
The 11-year-old boy who police said was beaten by two pastors was released from the hospital Thursday afternoon.

The child had been in intensive care at Brackenridge Children's Hospital for five days because of the severity of his wounds.

On Wednesday, the two pastors, Caleb and Joshua Thompson, were released from jail. They're charged with injury to a child.

Police said the men beat the boy with a tree branch because he wasn't taking his Bible studies seriously.

Hm. That's a bit different than allegations from the PARENTS...

And the perps got out of jail before the victim.

I wonder if he regained any of his kidney function.
