There are not many things that make me angry but this is one. You can go to this link to read about and watch the video of an eighteen-year old beating a sixteen-year old boy with autism named Aaron Hill. I am not sure what makes me more angry, the fact that he beat the boy or that others are watching and videoing the beating. The video went viral. Apparently a lot of people enjoyed it.
I could not breathe when I watched the video. I am a peaceful person but I will tell you I felt hate toward the one doing the hitting. I am not condoning it, just being honest. I also felt fear. Logan is only three years younger than this boy.
I am still shaking. Shaking with anger. Shaking with fear. People with autism are extremely vulnerable, both emotionally and physically.
Beating a child with autism is not entertainment,
My God, what have we become?
