quote:Similarly - my aunt had two brothers. The middle one got into it with some kid at school. That afternoon, the other kids older brother came to the house and knocked on the door and said to send Bob out. The dad asked why and he said I want to whip him for what he did to my brother.
If some bully did this to my kid, someone would be dead.
Mr. Smith said, "I tell you what, I'll send him out. When you get done whipping his arse, I'll send out his older brother, Tim, to whip your arse. Once he's stomped the shite out of you, I'll go over to your house and whip your dad's arse for raising such sorry kids. Sound like a deal?"
Kid just walked away. That was funny as hell.

I don't think an adult who does this at work is an a-hole either.

Out of curiosity, where'd you get those numbers? I didn't see any info on the bully at all except that he was an 8th grader

Asperger's kids can be total fricking pricks. I'm not saying this kid's beating was justified because I don't know the specifics, but these kids aren't all innocent. I've seen a few of them in action.
This! Aspergers kids look like any other kids. Unless someone tells you, sometimes you wouldn't even know they had a disability. Not defending the shite who nearby beat this kid to death. He was wrong and deserves criminal prosecution. But I can see why Aspergers kids are more likely to be bullied.. Its because they're little assholes a lot of the time.

Parent should press charges then sue the parents. At that point Bully will get destroyed by his family. It's gonna take ruining people's lives because of their sorry arse kids.

My first instinct was to grab the kid by the throat, climb on top of a roof, choke slam the shite out of him to the ground.
I would make him suffer.

That's my reaction after reading about it. I have two sons on the Autism Spectrum. They are 5 and 7 years old. The youngest is high functioning, and the older is nonverbal low functioning.
Them being bullied later in life is a major fear of mine.

It is what makes him different and as kids, all you need is something different to be picked on. When it is someone who can't defend themselves and likely has internal battles with what is the right and wrong reaction to things, the fact that the kid has Asperger's is pretty relevant.
The article suggests that the beating came from a kid who was bullying the victim's older brother. There is no suggestion anywhere that Asperger's (or ADHD) was a factor.

Zereaux, my 14 year old has Aspergers, too. He's a good kid. Very quiet at school, socially awkward especially now that girls are in the picture, very intelligent and in honors classes. The over generalization of Aspys being assholes really irks me. My son is quiet and isolated. He has friends now, but skips out on a lot of social interaction because he doesn't quite get it. I found out there was a school dance a couple of weeks back. I asked him why he didn't tell me or want to go with his friends. His answer was, "I don't dance." He doesn't see gray areas, and a dance is a place where people dance, not an opportunity to hang out with friends.
We've had some bullying issues. Mostly because he was in a disruptive class and he doesn't understand why kids disrupt the teacher when it's a rule to not do so. Bottom line, Aspys are a little different and being different as a young teenager is not a good thing. But, I don't think my son will end up being a very different adult. His personality is not all that much different than a lot of the engineers I know. Analytical, logical, and focused. Luckily, he's really big, so most kids leave him alone physically.
To the poster that said Aspys don't like sports, not necessarily true. They often don't play sports because mild hypotonia and poor coordination is a part of it.

Asperger's kid has a bad attitude, I get it. Bully had a bad day? Tough shite. Bad day doesn't mean you get to beat a child until he's leaking spinal fluid and his skull is fractured.

I didn't read this whole thread but are people really justifying a kid who weighs over 250# beating up a kid who weighs 70# to within a hair of his life?
If you want to add fuel to the fire, the father of the bully has a rap sheet miles long.
It really doesn't matter that he has Asperger's. The other kid doesn't have an excuse for his behavior. He's just an a-hole. He beat a child to near death in a school cafeteria.
A woman gets raped in a shopping mall mid-day. Is it her fault for wearing a short skirt, or the attackers fault for thinking its acceptable to rape a woman in a shopping mall?
