Just ...I am hearing more and more of this recently. Just about a week ago there was a 6 yr old with autism and hard to understand speech. He ended up going to the bathroom where 3 bullies cornered him, knocked him to the floor, put his arm behind him and began kicking him. When it was stopped the teacher just sent a note home to the parents. The parents were never called. The 3 bullies response to why they were bullying this kid was 'He talks funny'. When the parents confronted the principal of the school they were told it was to be EXPECTED because he is 'different'. The kid began regressing and refused to go to school so the parents are homeschooling him now.Berry Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18417990349626789033noreply@blogger.com
