Animals. This is so sad and cruel. If this was my kid who was part of this he'd know what hell is like up until he's 18 at which point I'd disown him.

That is not a prank. Pranks don't hurt people. I hope the jerks who did it get caught and are punished to the fullest extent of the law.

There's something seriously wrong with someone that thinks doing that would be a "prank". What the hell is wrong with youngsters that would do such a disgusting thing!

As a mother of a 19 y o with high-functioning autism, this INFURIATES me! My boy has done very well so far and is actually living in a dorm five hours away from us starting his freshman year of college. However, he is very trusting, very literal and very gullible. I can see him easily being a victim to this kind iof "prank." He has already made friends at his school (I haven't met them yet but so far, they seem fine) and has accommodations through the Student Disability office-they have been wonderful ! But we worry about crap like this happening to him all the time .
When he was 14, some kids at his private school ( the Shelton school in Dallas-an excellent and well-known private school that specializes in helping student with learning differences ) decided it would be hilarious to pretend that a beautiful girl from another private school had a crush on him. She texted him all the time, tagged him on FaceBook, got him to say some really sappy things. She then posted it all over FaceBook , told him what a geek he was and she would NEVER date him and he was crushed. I texted her myself and told her to leave him alone ( I actually went overboard and called her a cruel little bitch) , called the mothers of the kids at Shelton informed them what their kids had done and contacted the school administration. One kid was asked not to come back the following year ( my son was not the only victim of some of his "pranks"). Fortunately, he became very involved in Student Government and theater and made some really great friends.
I don't know what will happen with these kids....I don't know what you can do to someone to make them see how cruel they are. My heart breaks for this young man.

I am right there with you, Zoeybug. My DS has autism (he's high-functioning as well), and I can see him falling victim to something like this. We have fortunately never had a problem with any kind of bullying mainly because my older DS is only a year older and his friends are younger DS's friends too so nobody would ever dare to mess with him. Plus, we live in a small community and everybody treats younger DS so well. He's actually quite popular. lol There would be hell to pay if something like this ever happened to him. This community (and certainly this momma) would not stand for it.
I sure hope this young man recovers emotionally from this incident. People are truly disgusting sometimes, and it can really do a number on a person's self-esteem.

This is heartbreaking. My own son on the spectrum is so trusting as well, and would initially go along with something like this just to be included. It makes me want to bundle him up and keep him home forever .

This makes me so sick! I hope these little monsters are found and punished severely.
I am very fortunate to work at a school where our students embrace our kids who are special. One of my colleagues transferred her son who is on the spectrum to our school and the kids have been amazing with him. He is actually making friends for the first time in his life!

I'm not typically a violent person, but the idiots who did this...as well as anyone who knows who they are and are covering for them...should have their a$$e$ thoroughly kicked.
What a bunch of disgusting beings. I refuse to call them human.

I just can't understand how anyone with a shred of conscience can participate in such acts. I just can't. Something is profoundly broken in the criminals (how can we consider them kids?) who came up with and carried out this "prank."
Unless the parents are just as broken as the kids, they should have recognized the signs. Normal people, ones who care about others and respect others' feelings, don't just wake up one day and decide to humiliate a child by dumping shit on him. I also can't believe that no one at the school has outed the perpetrators either. What does that say about the culture of this area?
At a minimum, kids should be expelled, convicted of assault and hate crimes, and spend prison time, where they can learn what it is like to be bullied and humiliated without the protection of their rich mommies and daddies.

I didn't read the article you posted. I saw a related article somewhere and my heart just broke--I couldn't read it again. I feel so sad for that poor trusting boy. I just want to hug and hold him and take the pain away. I also want to beat the snot out of the kids who did it. I hope they are charged with something and are punished. Poor kid.

Terrible and so sad. He's a child btw, not a young man. This was abuse of a child.
My 15 year old is mentally retarded and although he is well insulated now, at school and home, there will be a time (hopefully) where he can reside in an assisted living facility and experience a measure of independence. These stories make me even more worried for his future.

Yes. Exactly. Last year, one of the autistic boys was Prom King because people loved him. If my child ever did that, I would be so humiliated. Those kids should be outed and humiliated themselves. Possibly only then they'd understand. Good on Drew Carey for calling attention to this!

So incredibly sad that humans treat each other like this. I always wonder if it is one or two leaders and then the followers. No doubt they will be caught.

When I read that I felt so bad for the boy. He was just trying to fit in and have friends. What they did was beyond cruel. I didn't read this article but the one that I did read said that some comedian had already donated $10,000 to anyone who can help lead to an arrest of these boys. Money talks unfortunately and hopefully they will get caught right away. It's a blessing it was recorded. Perfect evidence. I just wish it never happened. Like he doesn't already have enough to deal with. I don't understand how some people can be so cruel.

According to a news article I just read, most of the suspects have been identified. The police are turning over their evidence to the county prosecutor later this week.
In addition to Drew Carey, Jenny McCarthy and Donnie Wahlberg each offered $10k to help catch the scum who did this. Good for them!
