If you ever met a child or adult with Aspergers, you will describe them as very quiet, they do not socialize at all (their biggest challenge) and they are loners. Why in the world 4 students would do something like that is beyond me. I do not trust at all the education system these days, hence I home-school.

The boy allegedly was bullied by three boys and two girls after they all got off a school bus on September 28. Police have referred the case to a court magistrate who could approve juvenile assault and battery charges. The boy's aunt and guardian said he was cut on his hand when he was shoved into a mailbox, and was bruised when he was pushed into some woods and struck. She said her nephew has Asperger's syndrome. She said he's withdrawn and struggling to understand what happened. |
That's just so disgusting,especially as it involves so many kids!
Children with Asperger's aren't a threat to anybody, and in fact they're quite highly intelligent and methodical, they just appear to be different from other kids, hence this horrible case of bullying.
I feel so sorry for this boy, and the trauma that he went through.
I am just wondering what the punishment will be. I was bullied as a Kid sometimes (though I did not have any disabilities) and I understand the pain that comes from being belittled.
Hopefully they can turn these kids around and help them become more compassionate.
