I am appalled that in 2012 an autistic child would be physically abused (kicked and punches) and extremely verbally abused by peers in Fountain Hills (or anywhere).

Most the abuse occurs on or near the bus. The bus driver does nothing to stop this behavior of middle school children.

This child is anxious, nauseous and scared to go back to school. Being abusive is a learned behavior.

Either this behavior is demonstrated in the parents or secondary to the parents’ neglect in monitoring what their child is watching, playing or being exposed to. Both are consistent with lazy parenting.

I am an extreme advocate in parental accountability. I will absolutely make certain this issue is resolved, you can rest assured, but I really need community support. We must educate parents and children that bullying is not acceptable in any form to any child.
