A family is in shock and a community has united after an anonymous hate letter was written about a young boy living with severe autism.
Karla Begley told CityNews her son Max, 13, stays with his grandmother in the morning during the summer time. It was at that home in Newcastle where letter was delivered on Friday.
I was shaking when I was reading it, Brenda Millson, Maxs grandmother, told CityNews. Its awful words. You dont know why somebody would ever do such a thing.
The typed, one-page letter refers to the young boy as a nuisance and a wild animal before suggesting the family move or euthanize the child.
Begley says the police have been contacted and should they have grounds, charges will be filed against the letters author.
the panel discusses the incident. Description under the video too.

The kid who shot up the elementary school in Connecticut was autistic.
Not my fault. Just saying.

case in point.
It would probably be easy to figure out who this person is, they probably have never been friendly, has at least 2 kids, can see the boy in backyard from their house (they are a few doors down or homes behind).
Back in the early 60’s we had what we called a “retart” living down the block.
She used to chase us when we rode by on our bicycles, but we were never mean to her or made fun of her. She seemed to take joy in the simplest things.
I’m convinced such folk are here to teach us a lesson about what’s really important in life.
That said, it must be incredibly difficult for parents these days to raise such a child.
