They arrest him but they don't do nothing about bullies torturing others both physically and mentally. Talk about messed up priorities.
-
The school is being ridiculous, but the parents need to stop letting that child play violent games.
-
The fact that the school literally couldn’t look further into it is sickening. Why couldn’t they talk to the mother to just make sure? So ludicrous
-
Why would the parents allow him to play that type of game knowing he repeats things not fully understanding. Wouldn’t you want to avoid that?
-
So an adult that actually commits a crime is determined to be mentally incompetent, however a child with autism is a "felon" for life for expressing a diagnosed disorder? And we trust ourselves to these rules? Someone wishes to make a "political" point is my guess.
-
What?! Why would you want him to walk through life with a felony without even following procedures? Drop the charges!!
-
Why is he allowed to consume violent media that he can "script".
-
My question is as a parent how responsible is it to let this child view violent video games in the first place if he is so prone to suggestive imagery?
-
Yet a kid that killed 5 family members in a deliberate fire, goes home with his grandfather?
-
Poor little guy.... he must be pretty confused about this situation.
-
Literally, everyone in this child’s life has failed him.
-
Crazy how they can press charges on a child without even notifying the parents.
-
Let me get this straight.... *You're charging a Child with Autism with a FELONY for Repeating something he saw in.a video game?" You people are out of your Damn Minds. And the parents-- if you know your kid mimics what he sees , you need to strictly monitor what he is seeing FFS.. IDK what the hell is wrong with adults these days
-
I'm on the spectrum and how is playing violent video games a good idea if you know he's going to repeat what he sees and hears?
-
While I think the felony charge is a bit much, why would the parents allow this type of trash to be played in their home by any of their children?
-
The "teacher" is NOT trained enough for to work with special needs kids. H doesn't need to be charged a felony. What's wrong with these people?
-
Smh, my son has autism and can repeat a whole sentence he hears is called echolalia, I have to tell him to stop copying other people and to use his own words, when he gets in trouble he starts to repeat things he has heard which makes me angry but I know it’s also my fault for allowing him to watch certain shows and not watching what I say in front of him, besides that he’s the sweetest kid you can meet.
-
This just shows the lack of training and awareness the school and teacher have.
-
This is why pd’s need re training. And mom, children of any ability shouldn’t be playing those games.
-
Charging him with a felony seems extreme. He's just a kid, and he suffers autism. He may not think like most people.
