Erica Moore Defends Beating Her Son With An Electrical Cord For Engaging In Gay Sex Act

While not a parent myself, I can imagine that walking in on your child—your fifteen year old child—having sex in his room, would be pretty shocking. What I cannot comprehend, however, is the way Erica Moore handled the situation.

See, Moore was in bed one night when she decided check on her kids; the door to her son’s room was shut, and when she opened it she found him performing oral sex on his eighteen-year-old cousin. Like I said, I’d be pretty shocked.

But Moore took her shock out on her son: “I started whooping my son, and I’m the one who got in trouble as a result of me whooping him. When I walked in I saw my son, it was just disgusting to me, the way he was looking and my cousin was looking, and my cousin immediately ran out the door. And I’m just like what the?!? You know, is you serious? So that was my reaction because it disgusted me.”

Now, by ‘whooping’ her son, Moore meant that she took an electrical cord and began beating her son with it because she, ahem, doesn’t ‘believe’ in homosexuality.

Believe, Erica Moore, believe. Homosexuality is a real thing. You might not like The Gays, and you might not like that your son may or may not be gay, but believe it, The Gays are real.

“The police department told me that it was consensual, but they was committing a homosexual act in my house and we are totally against that. So I whooped my son and about three or four months later they came and arrested me for abuse.”—Erica Moore

Well, she was arrested for going too far in her little ‘whooping’. Her assault left her son bruised and bleeding on his boy’s thighs, forearms, hands, torso and back. And, naturally, because of her disgust for what her son had done, Moore didn’t even bother taking him to a hospital; his grandmother did that, and that’s when police became involved.

And where, ALLEGEDLY, it gets more revolting—although, keep in mind that this happened in Texas where The Gays are not liked very much at all. Erica Moore says the officer who interviewed her told her that he understood why she beat her son; in fact, he said he would have done more.

“Even that day when the police officer came out here, he told me out of his own mouth, ‘If it was me and I walked in on my child,’ he said, ‘parent to parent I probably would have shot him. I probably would have shot both of them.’ He said but with the law you can’t, you’re not allowed to put whoops on him. He said you can whoop him but you’re not allowed to leave any marks on him.”—Erica Moore

Now, in case you think Moore is an awful parent, she wants you to know that she would have beaten her daughter with an electrical cord, too, if she found her daughter having sex, of the hetero- or homosexual variety, in her home. So, she’s basically saying that she's an awful parent, to gay children and to straight children, if that makes anyone feel better.

Erica Moore is currently fighting charges of assault with bodily injury to a family member and could face prison time, though she still defends her rights to beat her child with an electrical cord: “I actually caught this going on in my house so how was I supposed to react to it? I supposed to just let it go? No! We was taught to discipline our kids and we whoop our kids.”

And then maybe go to prison, eh?

Now, as for that police officer who allegedly told Moore he would have shot his son had he found him engaged in a sex act with another male, Chief Dan Dennis, of the Forest Hill Police Department, says that never happened: 

“Miss Moore’s statement of the officer’s alleged inappropriate comments are simply untrue.  The conversation was recorded.  The officer’s conduct was entirely professional.  The Forest Hill Police Department does not discriminate against any citizen based on sexual orientation.”

Well, hopefully that’s true, because the last thing anyone needs to hear, from police officers, is that they have the right to shoot their child for being gay, or experimenting sexually.

Now, again, I am not a parent, but, if I were, I’d be more inclined to talk to my child about what they were doing and why. I’d be more inclined to make sure my child, if they were having sex, was careful, and protected. And because electrical cords are for lamps, not for disciplining a child.
