the problem is that who ever was watching the man is responsible for what happen....The thing I find unacceptable is that the group home allowed him to continue playing in the park after the incident. jail is the wrong place for the man because obviously he cant form criminal intent or even understand he is being punished for.
Agree 100% Responsiblity belongs to the supervising staff. Since we don’t know enough about the autistic mans past interaction with others in a public setting ....it serves no purpose to speculate futher on what should or should not have been done.
