Three teens have been charged as adults with attempted murder for allegedly surrounding Brewer, dousing him with rubbing alcohol and lighting him on fire.
Valerie Brewer said that her family plans to stay in South Florida but will not remain in their old neighborhood, where the attack occurred and relatives of the accused boys live.
