Autistic six-year-old beaten up by bullies after he stopped them from picking on his friend
Six-year-old Carter was attacked by boys about the same age as him and the case will not result in a criminal referral
A six-year-old child who has autism was brutally beaten up after he stood up to a bunch of bullies who were beating up his friend. The six-year-old had a fractured elbow and had to undergo surgery after he suffered lacerations to his eyelid and eyeball.
The boy has been identified as Carter and his mother Dana told Komo News, "It’s been hell. I haven’t slept. I haven’t eaten. I can’t do anything. I can’t even leave his side." The child and his mother left the Harborview Medical Center in Seattle post the surgery.
