I normally have a great deal of sympathy for people with mental and physical disabilities, but even I’m getting tired of the way autistic kids are being allowed to be just plain vicious.

This little punk in question had previously threatened to kill the paraprofessional; the school let it slide, and gave the punk multiple opportunities to change his behavior. He then escalates his behavior into felony assault, and his mother expects the school to let that slide, too?

So the poor widdle babykins doesn’t like to be touched? Well, people don’t like to be beaten up, either. I’m sick of hearing about how parents and teachers need to tiptoe around and use “strategies” to deal with these little psychos. Beat his @$$ with a belt when he gets violent; if the little diva-boy doesn’t like to be touched, he’ll quickly learn that he will be hurt when he hurts others.

I remember there was a kid like this in my class at school. In addition to being mean, he was also a pervert, bothering the girls. Boys and girls were all afraid of him, and of course, the teachers never did anything to intervene when he went on a rampage. One day, he started in on some girls, including my cousin. Tired of his B.S., she turned around and kicked him in the crotch so hard, that he screamed and fell to the floor.

Amazingly enough, that aspect of his “autism” was cured that day, and he never bothered the girls again.

Like this guy who thought it was a good idea to kick a little boy who made a bit of happy noise while he was talking on his phone.

His mother was going to admonish him, but the boy's father did a better job of it.

Lesson properly learned that day.

Have seen this video before. Was told the 16 year old in it has Down Syndrome and the mentality of a 6 year old.

I will quite agree with you that if he can’t act right in society then he must be removed at once. Understand the father’s reaction and can understand the parents of Down Syndrome’s reaction as well.

As much as it pains me to say this looks as if in some cases we are have to go back to the old days and put some of these people back in institutions for their own good and ours. That would include this boy and the boy that was arrested in this story although my thoughts are he just needed a trip to the woodshed.
