A New Jersey father has fired his son from the family plumbing business after his son sparked widespread backlash for allegedly urinating on a memorial of a young boy who died of cancer in 2012.

Bryan Bellace, 23, was charged on May 19 with lewdness, disorderly conduct, and criminal mischief after he was captured in a viral video allegedly urinating on a plaque at a playground in Mays Landing dedicated to Christian Clopp, a 9-year-old boy who died from an inoperable brain tumor. The plaque reads, “A child who made the world a better place through his courage, faith, smile, laughter, and love of others. May your memory and inspiration live on forever.”
