re: Five-Year-Old Tennessee Boy With Autism Branded ‘Sex Offender’ for Hugging Classmates

Yep. Google the story and you discover that Gateway Pundit, at best, cherry-picked the parts of the story to report.

But, it had its intended effect: right wingers screaming about "libtards," pavlovianly.

Glad this criminal is off the streets. Birthday party planners everywhere can breathe a sigh of relief.

Look, the sex offender thing seems overblown


But unfortunately, some of these kids with autism can be far too aggressive. There is a good chance at 5 years old he was making some kids very uncomfortable. I dont fault the autistic child though


If the school tried to contact the parents and have them come and help out, and the parents refused, this is a hard situation for the school


If they simply called authorities right away they are jackasses

The student, who has been publicly identified only by his first name, Nathan, was punished by East Ridge Elementary for being overly affectionate. The school even filed a report with the state

Meanwhile, you can riot and damage property with immunity, or even storm the streets in protest under the guise of antifa, assaulting freedom loving citizens on their way to and from work. Or even shut down public highways without even a ticket if black lives do indeed matter to you.

But this boy learns to be affectionate and love, likely from receiving it in his household, as do my kids, and he’s branded and put on a list by the state.

This is facking Infuriating.

Yep. I had to have a very tense conversation with a parent who let their autistic kid "off the leash" at a birthday party and threw my 3 year old down, resulting in a concussion. Why "because he was too close to me".

Autistic kids have no physical trait where identifying them is easy, unlike kids with downs. If I would have known ahead of time, I could have kept my kid away to give little Autie the space he needed to avoid the situation.

The parents were somehow mad at me for them leaving their special needs kid unattended to become everyone else's problem.

This kid in Tenn doesn't know any better, but he needs to be separated from the normal kids. My wife had a kid in her Pre-K class that would routinely break out in screaming fits, assault other kids, and assault administration. They eventually had to very carefully document then expel the kid.

Special needs kids have no business around normal kids until they have proven with years of observation to be no threat to other kids. ETA: This kid shouldn't be considered a threat, but he belongs away from normal kids.

This.

It’s hard to form an opinion on this without knowing the exact details, either way I think it is extremely irresponsible for adults to brand the kid as a “sex offender”.

Strangely, it reads as if he wasn't already in a special ed setting.....which if he was on the spectrum, he should've been

My nephew is autistic and he does attend regular classes.
