Autistic boy gets abused and family catches it on tape

In Allen Texas, a family suspected their son with autism was being abused. It started with a broken jaw and then random marks. They documented all of this but then put a hidden camera into his room.

They saw the boy get hit with a toy gun that his parents purchased for him for his birthday. The workers punched him and broke bones.

The excuse for doing this? Because he was a playful boy without discipline. Trial is set for May 14. The parents feel awful that they didn't do the hidden camera sooner.

Too much abuse goes on in group homes. Having a disability, I always feared of going in a facility and having people do whatever they see fit. When people feel power over someone like that, the world is a scarier place.
