One of the articles that really caught my attention this month and surprised me was an article from Fox 4 News about a middle school boy with autism almost getting bullied to death. That really got to me, the fact that at such a young age kids bully others with disabilities. The 12 year old boy from Liberty Middle School was attacked by another boy because he asked him to move out of his seat. He was beaten till he blacked out. It's quite emotional how the parents describe the scene.... People should be more aware of children with disabilities and educate them about it. Whether a child has autism or not, bullying is never okay, but children should be aware of other kids that are different than they are. Therefore, they might have a different perspective and react differently than a normal child would.
