Ice Bucket Challenge

BAY VILLAGE, OHIO (WJW) – Police are looking into a bullying case involving an autistic teen who took the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, WJW reported.

She said her youngest son was recorded as urine, feces, spit and cigarette butts were all dumped on his head by a group of teenagers, according to WJW.

“Once we found out about it, we were just horrified,” said Diane, the mother of the victim.

Last names were left out of the story so the family could help protect their son.

The video was first found on the 15-year-old son’s cell phone, and the parents decided to make it public.

“I mean, the first thing that popped into my mind was like, why could someone – how could someone do this?” said Jacob, the teen’s brother. “How could someone really be this cruel to someone?”

“He was embarrassed because he did not know what the contents were until afterwards, and then he didn’t want anybody to know,” said his mom. “They used his phone to tape it, and they put it up on Instagram.”

[Editor’s note: The family asked that the video be shown to make other parents aware of bullying.]
