What would you do? | Autism PDD

No kidding, I also have fears of sending Nick to public school this is why!!! It sucks our kids have to go through so much therapy and hard work to beable to cope and fit in with other kids and this crap has to happen!!!

Can anyone in Pennsylvania tell us the latest update on this case? Has it been totally thrown out or is the family persuing this further on a higher court level ? It is absolutely appaling to say the least.

We live in a comunity that has wonderful recreation leagues for numerious sports.The best of their complexs is for baseball....And which group has the field with the best location in the complex- the physically and mentally challenged kids! The teams are coached by parent volunteers and all parties involved have a blast.(We will have our son involved next year - when we feel he will be a bit more ready. We have regularly visited there since the fields were built to watch friends and neighbors play)Their program is run strickly on donations , so needless to say after reading this story , I will drastically increase mine to them.

If it were my child, that coach would have to pray the cops got to him before I did. Oh the pain he would suffer at my hands...

I heard this on the news a while ago. i was so upset.... that could be any of our children out there..autism or not. i wanted to hit him with a ball.I heard about this too on the news and it made me really sad and upset. You would think in this day and age people would have more sense or compassion, I guess that would be asking too much from society

And everyone wonders why kids still pick on kids with disabilities, when they have adults like this as a role models, very sad.

Yes, I was utterly disgusted! It's just so terrible. I let my mom read it. Now she knows why I'm so scared of putting Julian in Kindergarten! I am trying not to be, but then I read this story!
