Autistic boy banned from church
The parents of a 13-year-old boy with autism in Bertha, Minnesota have been issued a restraining order by the local church because of their son’s behavior. WWJD?
Walz claims Adam [Race] has urinated and spat in church and that his behaviour presents a danger to other parishioners.
But Adam’s parents say the boy has a medical disability and they try to control their son as best they can.
“He said that we did not discipline our son. He said that our son was physically out of control and a danger to everyone at church,” Carol Race said. “I can’t discipline him out of his autism, and I think that’s what our priest is expecting.”
But Walz told authorities he has spoken to the parents and the parish has tried to offer “many options for accommodations that would assist the family while protecting the safety of parishioners. (But) the family refused those offers of accommodation.”
