@lorimars0 depends on your prospective. Reread my message all children are gifts from God every last one!! Even the difficult ones I know I'm a father of 5.
If it wasn’t for the slap these people would have not got help. I’m sorry this happen to the young boy, but in the end I’m glad they are getting the help. A bad situation is turning good. Also, for the man that slapped him, please press charges or a settlement.
@@BeesFitness I hope that man press charges against this family. Autistic or not you can't go around damaging other people's property. This kid was not properly supervised and his parents need to be held liable.
@@DanielPacheco-ll3xn better question, why DOESN'T it concern YOU? You part of the "mind ya business" crowd? That speaks volumes on your sense of morals, or lack thereof...
One time I was waiting for a Metro bus and this boy who looked like a teenager or possibly preteen was standing nearby and kept getting close to me. I kept looking at him crazy and was about to say something to him until I realized he had something wrong with him. Down syndrome or something and then I noticed he was being assisted by an adult male. I felt bad afterwards and I'm glad I didn't say anything to him. I was about to tell him to back the heck up and that he was rude. Lol. It must be hard for the chaperones, especially loved ones, who watch over these types of kids and fearing somebody will mess with them or not realize something is wrong with them mentally and that it is not their fault. Always having to explain that to ppl, too.. I feel for them and the kids. 😢
@@E.V.A.N-COProductions I understand that. But I excused him bc I could tell he didn't have the mental capacity to understand that what he was doing was pretty bothersome. I could tell by the faces he was making. Also, I remember he even took his weewee out and started to pee by me too. That's when I knew he really wasn't right .. Then I saw what was probably his dad come around to take care of him. Lol.
@@E.V.A.N-COProductions Duh? But that’s not what this guy felt guilty about, he felt guilty about what he was ABOUT to do. He was about to be aggressive because he was irritated, instead of polite, because he thought the kid was just being rude. His point wasn’t about feeling bad about having his personal space invaded.
@@NousagiCaptain Dude. The kid was literally peeing on the bus. In *_NO_* way anybody should keep their cool for something like that. That is completely unacceptable, and gross. You're defending the public urinator of all things? Call me crazy...
@@E.V.A.N-COProductions He added that before you posted. Edit: you posted your reply before he added that context. I was responding to your first reply.
I agree, but the one supervising the autistic child should have not allowed him to bend / destroy that mans property. Guess he would have been more in the right to slap the supervising older sister or the childs mother / father. Either way the dude got his merc messed up, likely his baby, his pride and joy, and someone recklessly destroyed the hood ornament. Be it on bad parenting, autism, hot temper, or whatever, I'd say slapping the kid quick and obviously not full on swing, knock em over kinda power, is a far better reaction vs what crazy stuff you see others doing these days... I mean they are living out of a vehicle, what if the dude decided to call the cops? Press charges? Dad would likely rather he just give his son a lil slap at the end of the day. The whole situation is just wrong all around from all parties involved. Sucks it's a kid stuck in the middle tho :/
🙄 how the hell would he know the kid was autistic? All he probably saw was a kid vandalise his car and sit there laughing about it. Maybe his carers should control the kid better to avoid. Maybe make him wear a shirt that clearly explains his mental condition.
Not surprised! He decided to assault a disabled hispanic kid and offend an entire community. I get the kid bent the emblem on his car but that is no excuse to assault anyone let alone a kid that can't defend himself.
God Bless all of those in my community who have reached this family. It shows we still have beautiful people in Pacoima. I hope this family also blessed immensely.
The family shouldn’t be blessed, the man should. Instead the family should get sued because the kid damaged the man’s property. It doesn’t matter how many disabilities you have, it doesn’t justify you to break other people’s property
Do you want to bless the phony uncle who was on the news saying how bad this was? Hi sbrother and his family have been homeless and he did nothing to help his brothers family, he is sucking up now because this family has money from that phony go fund me account. Go and telll your so called comunity that.......
THIS one decision may have cost him everything he had ... but he probably made many similar decisions without repercussions that gave him the idea he could act this way with defenseless children.
@@peachesandpoetsPeople in the comments are making it seem like the kid damaged the car not condoning the man’s behavior but seriously if it’s fixable why hit the kid.
How would he know he’s autistic? If anything he can argue he was trying to discipline the kid since his sister allowed him to destroy someone else’s property. The slap did not cause any physical harm.
We in the autism community don’t need or want help. The majority of us want to be autistic. We don’t need cured or fixed. What we want is to be accepted as we are.
@@scottcharney1091 yes they do. each and everyone of them do exactly that and no autistic child is the same. so to say they do not do their best when they wake up and give everything they have to a child that needs three times the help a normal child needs is beyond... so stop it already. and the fact you actually just told an autistic person you want to be able to function day to day as if he is in control of it show exactly how little you know of autism and the people having it.
The homies found his home address and stop by to speak about the situation. He left the country back to Armenian scared AF. He wouldnt do that in front of someone with a bald head or dreads.
I'm not trying to be a hater but like I don't think he would go to jail because of a slap but I also do think that they should try to get the kid to not touch other things because it could lead to things like that I'm not hating or anything but I do feel like he has a reason
@@Hi_.xkid has autism they won’t listen depends on how he is on the scale the fact he likes to touch things won’t stop him at that age especially I get what your saying kids shouldn’t but he isn’t all there
An autistic kid (12 or 13) smacked a co worker in the head for literally no reason - causing severe injuries. She had to quit her job. Last i heard, still struggling to get disability. Kid and parents? No consequences of course
From a smack? What is the family supposed to do exactly? I get what you’re saying but a severely autistic kid has no cognitive ability to understand right from wrong and are non self directing. So finding someone to put the blame on, in this situation is hard.
@@Nayaritchaosthe parents have a responsibility to keep THIER CHILD and OTHERS safe from said child. They are doing him a disservice by letting him act however tf he wants to
@@Nayaritchaos As someone on the spectrum, we know right from wrong, we just don't know what's socially acceptable. I am not sure in which universe breaking someone's stuff would be considered socially acceptable.
@@Nayaritchaos So if said autistic kid charges at someone with a pair of scissors and you were their parent you'd just stand by and let it happen or would you try to somehow stop them?
So we don't bother wanting to know if the man also had autism or some other disability? We just pick sides in America in 1 split second, who cares about fact checking!
Even if your kid loves to touch things, autism or not, you should still teach your kid to keep their hands to themselves and at the very least teach them the habit of asking permission to touch something that isnt theirs Neither sides are in the right imo
Are you serious? You can barely teach a severely autistic kid to blow his nose or drink from a cup. They don't understand words or even simple direction. If you have a way to teach them boundaries which is something very difficult close to impossible to explain to them, then you deserve a Nobel prize for revolutionary findings in the field. Please educate yourself before talking nonsense and learn to be more tolerant. These parents are exhausted and have been through enough.
The man should not have hit the kid make that clear. However the boy should not be braking hood ornaments on peoples Mercedes or other cars just because he has autism doesn't give him the right to vandalize cars and he should be prosecuted for destruction of private property. And if they know he likes touching things that don't belong to him they need to pay more attention to him and his hands. He is lucky he just got slapped in other neighborhoods it could have been way worse him and his sister.
The kid did not break the hood ornament. It moves as part of the process of opening the hood along with a second tab that pops the hood open. He hit him because he thought he was laughing at him. He was on an ego trip. If he had controlled his anger, he would not be in this mess.
Prosecuted? an autistic child? Seriously? 🤦 Obviously, you don't have a relative or a child who has autism. They are categorized as "disabled" because the majority of them (especially in severe cases) cannot control themselves, nor understand their environment. I would understand if their parents would be the ones to be liable for the kids' actions, but your opinion is nonetheless inept of people with autism.
@@imatter4619 Well... the kid is in for a surprise when he grow up and keeps destroying other people's stuff. His child face won't be able to save him anymore.
Dont send your autistic child out into the street with another child who cannot control them. That kid is parents responsibility & should be charged for damages. Dude shouldn't have smacked him, but Mercedes are expensive he worked his asz off for that car only for some parents to ignore their burden allowing him to become others burdens by destroying property. Sick or not dont touch things that arent yours.
I know from experience that many times kids with Autism are never held to any standard, because the parents are completely incapable of dealing with the child. So, when the poor child comes into contact with normal people “in the wild”, the kid is likely to get themselves in trouble.
Autistic adult here, yeah majority of parents don’t raise us right, whether they raise us as if we’re non disabled, or they use our disabilities to make excuses for us “not knowing better” when they are the ones that are meant to teach us in ways we’re meant to understand.
Autism is a spectrum and you really don't know where this child lands. And aside from parenting and autism, would you slap any child for touching your car? Like for real, as a grown person, would you do that to somebody half your size and a fraction of your age? I think it's embarrassing that a grown man would do that.
@@Panfila303 I didn’t even watch the video, so I can’t comment specifically on what this guy did, but I ve worked with autistic kids , and often times, it’s those kids who are violent and throw the first punch, or get themselves in trouble some other way. Autism is not an excuse to act crazy, and as Kamala says, which I don’t agree, that it takes a community to raise the kids. Actually, it just takes the parents, but if the parents won’t do the job, then it falls on the community to do it. One way or another, an autistic child will be raised by the parents, by the community, or by the police.
Both sides are wrong. Family shouldve watch the kid so he doesnt break anything which he did on an expensive car that the owner has to pay out of pocket. Id be pissed too if someone was vandalizing my car but also wrong on the guy to slap the kid. Keep it civil.
Right? I dont see see mom or dad anywhere. It appears as if he was left alone with children? I think now its being used as a cop out to get free money.
People need to start taking care of they’re kids, I bet anyone in that guy’s position would be upset and would like to do something, everyone needs to stop being hypocrites and stop acting they wouldn’t want to do something if some random kid did that, take care of your kids if not don’t have any!
Nah, doesn't matter if your kid is autistic, control your kids behavior. That man shouldn't have slapped the kid, but still, having an autistic child doesn't mean you're going to let them act out. The only abuse I see are two very irresponsible parents neglecting to keep their children housed. On top of that, this is Pacoima. People are outraged over this, but have no problem when their kids are out at 3am stealing cars.
I agree this is a action of neglect from the parents not my damn problem that you can't control ur child, I wonder why the damn parents are so figuratively blind at their neglectful actions and continues to play the role of victim
@@Chxmically My gut tells me they use the kid's disability to get sympathy and money. Their van has "My child has autism spectrum disorder" scribbled on the side. 100% they use that kid for begging the way some use a puppy or baby in a stroller to make people more inclined to give. He's their little moneymaker.
It's clear you don't understand the difference between severe and high-functioning autism. With a severely autistic child, it's not as simple as "control your kid". Many of them have the mentality of a toddler and sometimes can get away from you in the blink of an eye to run towards something that has caught their attention. No parent is "letting them act out" and the best they can do is explain and apologize in a situation like this.
IM GOING AGAINST THE GRAIN HERE but as far as I can see, it doesn't even qualify as a slap because he barely touched him. I understand his anger of his car getting damaged and kid who did it is laughing and the family wasn't in any position to make it Right! Did HE KNOW the kid was Autistic or proof that he did?? THAT BEING SAID NOBODY SHOULD EVER LAY A HAND ON ANOTHER MANS KID!! An adult doing this is crazy!!!
Not sure what the mother said or what language barriers existed, but I doubt the driver knew the child was autistic. People will clamor on that though just like any hate crime where people throw around somebodies disabilities/ethnicities/etc in order to justify more punishment. It's also a shield to muffle the outrage bad behavior would normally result in. I could understand if the child (or mother) said that they were autistic and then bent the drivers emblem back. Don't think this situation went down like that.
The autistic child was not laughing, he is too autistic to understand the situation. what you are seeing is not laughter and it is not malicious. You can see the older sister talking really fast to the man, I will assume she is trying to explain and apologize for what has happened (that is what it looks like). The older sister is NOT laughing OR smiling, she is very serious and concerned because she understands the situation and she looks scared. Yes the child damaged the mans car but that does NOT, under any circumstances, justify a grown man hitting a child he doesn't even know! In what world, does what the man did, help the situation or fix the car ornament in any way ?
his car wasnt damaged though, and he knew it. those ornaments are on a spring mechanism, they ALWAYS have been. they bend 360* without breaking, and if pushed back specifically, they'll lie back. pull them slightly up or forward, and they return to the upright position. maybe you somehow went rhoguh life never touching a hood ornament to not realize this, but every single Mercedes owner knows this. he knew to an absolute certainty that nothing was broken or damaged in the least. he just got so upset over a small, young child DARING to touch his car, that he pulled over, got out, screamed long enough for someone to record, then slapped him
If you don't teach your child manners at home, they'll be thought by the streets. The parent should have offered to pay for the damage first and foremost, instead of hiding behind the kid's condition. The slap was wrong, but not surprising.
i remember playing with those hood ornaments all the time as a kid, they move around attached with a spring or some mess. You can usually push them back, they'll stay back, then pop back up if lifted
It popped right back into place and even if it had been ripped off you don't touch other people's kids, much less hit them. Well, maybe _you_ do, but it's against the law.
This is blown out of proportions. 20K $ for a small slap? Many of us have felt the pain of our mothers slippers. Kids misbehave and need to be corrected. Teachers can't even grab a student by the arm to get them out of their classroom without getting fired.
This is nuts. The kids vandalized the guy’s car and got rewarded for it, and everyone is patting him on his back like a hero? Meanwhile the guy’s life is getting destroyed for something that barely counts as a slap? I thought he legit knocked the kid out, but he barely touched him. America is nuts. People are so out for blood. I don’t even blame the kids, since he’s mentally ill, but it’s his parents/caretakers’ job to supervise him 24/7 if he can’t be left alone. Society shouldn’t have to endure your devil spawn just because he has issues.
I have to agree! Disabled or not, letting your kid run around and vandalize other’s belongings is unacceptable. And no obviously he shouldn’t have touched the boy at all, you don’t hurt children, you settle the damages with his parents. Americans’ need to constantly start gofundme’s for anyone they feel sorry for is weird to me. That being said, living in a van is incredibly sad 😢
I'm a mechanic, and I assure you mercedes emblem CAN NOT be vandalized , The German engineers made sure that not to happen , I can bring you my mercedes today if you are in LA and give you $1000 and 1 hour to try to break my mercedes emblem. But if can't break it in 1 hour you will have to give me $1000.
You're absolutely correct, but no one wants to hear it. It implies the parents did not uphold their responsibilities and no parent of an autistic (or otherwise) child wants to be forced to relate
Not going to lie if anyone bent the hood ornament on my Mercedes (if I owned one) I'd be pretty upset too. Yes, what he did was wrong but I am sure there are several others in this comment section that would have been angry with the kid as well. Hard to say how you'd really react if you weren't there. The heat of the moment is different than watching a TH-cam video.
Mercedes hood ornaments are mounted so they can move, because if they were permanently upright they would be a significant hazard for pedestrians who were struck by this car.
This video is disingenuous, the boy bent the freaking emblem of the car as he was trying to remove it, this happened while the mom was present which is scummy low life behavior. Also that's a tap and not a slap, didn't even make contact with the boys face.
Yeah, it was a bit much, dude still shouldn’t have touched the kid. I have an autistic kid, extremely hard to control in public. Think of a two year old toddler in a 10 year old body, they have impulses, can’t exactly put them in a stroller or carry them like conventional babies
Placing material gain over a child’s disabilities there’s a lot to be learned here the world is crumbling because of its materialistic hype and you wanna fight over an emblem. It’s not OK to touch anybody kids slap or tap whatever
@@RaulMorcillo-bt6rw Your comment is full of lies,, i never put the blame on the child or his disabilities. I put the blame on the mother who just sat there while her son damaged someone else's property. Just because the child is mentally disabled doesn't mean the world should give him free reign to do as he wishes, there has to be some sort of control.
@@mackjeez do you know how to read? Where does it say you’re putting the blame on the child’s disabilities you just get defensive and enter into a conflict I’m just expressing my opinion. I’m not taking anyone, but I disagree with the behavior by the adults. Children need to be guided, especially children with special needsadults in society have the responsibility of setting examples
I mean why didn’t the sister prevent the kid from committing destruction to someone else’s property. Doesn’t justify the contact but the contact was not aggressive.
@@streetwearjimmy I am on the spectrum and If I did something wrong I was always apologetic. This kid looks like he never heard of the word "sorry" or "Lo siento"
It's the parent's fault for not controlling her kid. He did not deserve the slap, but then the guy did not deserve his car being damage either. I hope he at least sue them for the damage.
he could have just sued him them for damnage but look how the devil works since he slapped a child that’s assault of a minor with disabilities he will automatically loose the law suit and he will go to jail for assault or batteryon a minor with disabilities
Bro this GROWN MAN slapped a little kid with AUTISM just for damaging his little shiny car ornament, and you’re on the car owner’s side??? That’s wrong dude you don’t hit children.
okay that still does not give permission for you too put your hands on the kid call the police had that been my kid he slapped i would have done kore than bend his little car ornament KEEP YOUR HANDS & FEET TOO YOURSELF ill catch a assault charge for my child
Go educate yourself on severe autism. There is nothing these parents can do. Their lives are horrible and they are exhausted all the time. It's almost impossible to control severe autism, and these parents try to do it every day to no end.
Guys gonna slap himself for slapping someone when he gotta sell his Mercedes to pay the bills that are about to be slapped on him when his business closes
@@donottouch2392if you steal my emblem I'll call the police and have you pay to have it replaced I might slap you, but your an adult There not comparable scenarios
@@JorJorBinksssi will say the laugh doesn’t seem like something he can control. It’s probably a nervous tick. I understand the car owner being upset but this could’ve been handled better by all parties.
Y'all understand how much a Mercedes cost? Is the owner broke? Can't go back to the dealership to order a new one for 200$. Maybe don't buy a Mercedes if you can't afford it.
I have a little brother with severe autism, and he is non verbal too. He has the mind of a two year old, so he does not understand at all when you talk to him. However, we have our own house with a garden and a great support system, and he goes to school where he learns how to watch out for dangers and how to behave on the street. We do not live in the US, we're from Germany. I think the boy in the video is just like my brother, however his condition is worst than my brother, because he does not have stable conditions and it does not look like he goes to school or ever learnt how to socialise. I hope he will be able to get behavioral therapy and the chance to socialise with other kids in school. Of course something like this happens when he A) a severely autistic kid who was never taught meets B) a grown man who obviously lacks the exposure of special needs people. Also, comments suggesting to leave people home just because they are autistic - this is impossible. They are human beings too, and they require exercise and exposure to other people as well, or they will get "crazy". Also, you need to watch them all the time because they literally do not understand dangers.
As an autistic myself, autism should never be excused, always disciplined. Autism requires far more discipline to keep it under control than the average child.
@@edwardfletcher7790 Then it's his parents' responsibility to prevent him from running around putting his hands all over everything. Other people shouldn't have to put up with their property being damaged because they can't control their child.
Gotta teach kids not to touch and break things. There r ppl who will overreact. Ppl get killed over dumb stuff all the time, so teach your kids not to get into these situatuons.
He obviously didn't know the kid was disabled. He thought he was a brat who damaged his car. Because the media is saying the kid touched his car, but he damaged it. He barely touched him.
Ok so the kid didn’t deserve a slap but that guy didn’t deserve to have his hood ornament bent either. Parents need to take responsibility for teaching the child and watching him in public. What’s it going to be when he’s ten years older? Does he just randomly assault people instead of vandalize? Just because he has autism doesn’t mean he gets a free pass.
This is not at all true. In general, people don't go around slapping other people's children. Back in the 40s, 50s, and 60s, that might have been the case, but not these days. The days of the strap in the classroom is long gone for example.
@@s.b.sieber2007 Child trafficking and sex crimes are the highest they've ever been. There's nut jobs out there grabbing kids in broad daylight these days, and that's far more problematic than a little tough love. Albeit, discipline should be reserved to the parents and parents alone, not strangers nor teachers, and never excessive nor discriminatory.
So they can get their car fixed. Someone started it for them I guess because they felt sorry for them. I don’t think it’s right, taking advantage of a situation. Most of the money probably came from the ‘rapper’ who ‘sings’ about shooting people and abusing women.
autism isnt an excuse for letting the kid touch other people's stuff. i have autistic nephews i would never let them cause that situation to begin with.
Btw as I am seeing both sides for this I will say both are in the wrong, first the parents needs to teach their children about touching stuff whether they have autism or not, And about the guy that slapped the child, that action is too far, In conclusion; teach your child, don't make an excuse, and hitting a random child is wrong.
But they fail to mention why he slapped him in the first place? If someone messes with an expensive car, sorry to break it to you, this falls on the parent’s shoulders. Understandably, you shouldn’t lay your hands on someone with mental disabilities, however the parents are at fault here. What bothers me even more is the fact that they’re playing the victims here 🤣 your son messed with someones car and all of a sudden his response is all people care about.
Being autistic isn't an excuse to touch someone's property. That's comparable to a person with ADHD beating someone or destroying something, then it's justified by saying "oh well he has ADHD so therefore not liable for any damage or crime". No, that's simply not how the world works. People have all sorts of mentality. Someone out there won't tolerate their property being messed with regardless of who the perpetrator is, as clearly seen in this video. Also that slap wasn't even that hard, it seemed more like a disciplinary slap. But it's not suprising why people are so upset and whining about it, the world has become soft as hell.
Soooo its ok to break the hood ornament of someone elses car just because im autistic? Lets say he didnt slap the kid…now what? Im sure all those supporters will help right? We get the slap part but apparently no one cares about property or consequences. I mean they said he likes to touch things so you would think if you take him places you would pay attention…just sayin.
why does literally nobody seem to know how car hood ornaments work? they've been making them the exact same way for at least five decades now. they attach with a heavy duty spring mechanism. they can be bent 360 degrees, never causing any damage. of you push them backwards specifically, they'lll lay down. The slightest pull forward or up, and they jump back to the default standing position. you can bend one backwards like this 50,000 times and not break it. this is like think you've "broken" a door by opening it. he bent it a way it is specifically engineered to bend harmlessly. and the car owner would have known this, even if you dont
Thats not the point…you cant go around doing whatever you want, especially going up to a car and messing with it physically…and of course dudes an idiot for slapping the kid. 2 wrongs dont make a right 😎 dont blame society because apparently this kid needs a leash, thats on the parents. Mayne best he stays home if this has been an issue? Anyhow we are all just living in a world others think is their own
@Snuffedstar2004 Yes I was born with real problems you know what happened I didn't go break up peoples cars and if you can't control your kid LEAVE YOUR KID HOME or when he breaks up my car he will be slapped and you will have broken bones if you do anything other than pay me for my badge
@Snuffedstar2004 It doesn't justify hitting someone, either on or off the spectrum. But the other question that's never asked is, is it wrong to hold a child on the spectrum accountable for his actions? He's autistic, not braindead. Autistic people can learn right from wrong and to act accordingly. You can take that from someone with Asperger's.
it wasnt damaged. Mercedes hood ornaments.... and virtually ever car ornament for the past 45 years +, are attached with a spring mechanism. they bend 360 degrees and lie flat backwards, never causing damage. you just slightly lift or pull the medallion with the tiniest pit of pressure and they return to the default standing position. i suppose they do this because it makes it much harder for them to be broken off, you would have to be not just a man, but a strong man to ever actually break one. and while you somehow went through life never realizing this very basic thing, the Mercedes owner 100% knew
It’s very misleading!!!! What would everyone else do if their prize possession item was destroyed or damaged by that autistic boy……. I think most of everyone would be very upset and would confront the boy. The man didn’t slap the boy for no reason!!! The boy damaged the man’s vehicle and because he’s autistic that somehow justifies his actions!!! I have an autistic cousin and he does the same behavior and we have him super close to us in order to prevent a situation from happening.
Exactly. Also, it's clear the sister can't handle or be responsible for her brother's actions. Parents should be caring for him. He's their responsibility after all. Hope guy sues for a new emblem cause they have 20k in gofund, they can afford it.
Whats absolutely disgusting is was a GoFundMe necessary?? They got help repairing there vehicle, needed housing help. Was this all necessary? For a slap that looked like the kind where you take your fist and tap there chin, as a good going gesture.
Because victims want free money, especially the self proclaimed ones. That kid is not autistic he just has horrible parents. Almost all parents that claim their kids have autism are really just crappy parents.
I’m sure the man doesn’t know the kid has autism. Not everyone is aware of kids with autism. Kids with autism look normal, but they act like a 2-3 years old. My son is 7 years old diagnosed with autism since 18 month. He acts just like this poor kid, touches everything he sees, and laughs for no reason. I worry all the time for his safety. Hope this child gets as much help and support that he needs. It’s hard to find the right support out there. Best wishes to him and his family.
So reward a family who’s kid vandalized someone’s property and completely destroy the man’s business and NOT blame the caretakers of the child to watch him 24/7? My mom would have slapped me if I did something like that, his slap didn’t even count as a slap but of course people are soft.
Hold up there, cowboy! The _autistic_ kid who vandalized someone's property. It was the actions of the man who slapped the boy (autistic or not) who's responsible for his business taking a hit. I can understand not being able to put yourself in someone else's shoes, but really, who cares what _your_ mother would do, besides you? There's soft in the extreme. Then there's a polar opposite...
@@conscientiousobserver8772 it’s not that hard to tell/teach a child to keep their hands to themselves and not touch things that are not theirs autistic or not it’s basic logic.That little slap was a wake up call, It’s called bad parenting same thing when an owner of a dog causes havoc bad ownership.
it's not vandalism! those emblems bend back and pop back 50,000 times if you want without any damage ever being done, theyre held in place with a spring and have been for 40 years or more now
What makes them sound illegal is that they're living in a van with two kids & supposedly receiving NO services from the gov. An American family would have at least signed up for food stamps or maybe tried to get some type of help for their child with special needs. Even if they didn't want to stay at a shelter they likely would have done what I said. So this family either isn't legal, or doesn't know much about our system due to language/culture barriers.
Relieved to hear the guy was arrested, the family was gifted a new SUV and their GoFundMe has reached $100,000. Their son is also now enrolled in a school that specializes in helping autistic kids. They're also hoping to reopen their restaurant which closed a few years ago. Chances are, it will be packed when that happens. As awful as that slap was, it's turned out to be a blessing. What the devil meant for evil, God meant for good.
Thank you. Did I watch the same video as everyone else? He barely touched the kid and basically gave him a warning. That's exactly how the situation should have been handled.
@@tmarq4655 Yupp there’s correct ways in doing things. And to the comment who said that’s exactly how it should’ve played out… I hope that doesn’t happen to his child or grandchild & I hope he doesn’t hope on the news talking about it
Well, keep your kids away from other people's stuff! He damaged that man's vehicle. That man didn't know he had autism. I would've thought he was being a brat. I wouldn't have slapped the kid. But if you have a kid that does that, you gotta confine that behavior. Mercedes isn't cheap! That guy has a right to his property being free from damage too. He didn't hit him that hard, ffs! It was just a little pat. Did he wind up and slug him? No. The family is getting resources to help them. I think that man shouldn't hit anybody. I also think autistic people don't have the right to damage property either. I think the two acts should cancel each other out.
I was looking passively out the picture windows of the laundromat I manage and realized there was an adult black male smoking a blunt with his car doors swung open sitting there staring at the two little kids 'with him' as they were prying up the newly repaired asphalt from our parking lot. A toddler staggering around with a square foot of tarmac and the other throwing the rubble and bits across the lot. I went outside and just asked "What the hell am I looking at, here?!?" Jesus, people. Also, this seems to have turned into a real boon for these people. Who filmed it?
He should not have done it regardless .. but he barely touched the kid, to be honest. It's not like he clocked him. I don't think he should have his life ruined over it. Those ornaments are expensive. The kid probably has done this before, and it's a habit. I had one bent off an old classic Mercedes I used to have.
He barely touched the kid. Granted, he shouldn't have swung at him at all but people are making a mountain out of a molehill. Maybe he'll learn to keep his hands off other people's stuff now.
I wondered myself why if he often has issues with behavior like that and his sister can’t stop him why weren’t any of the adults with? Why couldn’t one of the adults go get food?
As someone who has autism, that cellphone video was painful to watch for me. I may be higher on the spectrum than the boy, but that doesn't matter to me. Autism is autism, regardless of where you are on the spectrum. That man is a coward for slapping the boy for doing something he loves doing, not even realizing that it's just a part of who he is. And to the SoCal community, you all have big hearts. Not only are you standing up for the boy and his family, but you're doing everything you can to make sure this family has a better future. To all who are helping this family, you have my full support. I hope the man get justice, and the boy and his family get the resources they need to have a bright future ahead. If there's ANYTHING I can do to spread the word about this, please let me know. I want to make sure this boy and his family are safe and in a place where they can feel safe.
I'm glad that family is getting the support they need, but I feel like the man was penalized too harshly for an event that clearly induced major stress in him. He could have done far worse, and it does take patience and humility to avoid conflict in a situation like this.
The guy was wrong to do that. Seems the amount of autistic Hispanics is outrageously high. It's obviously not only them who suffer from it, but it seems like a lack of intelligence and understanding in their diet is making a huge difference and the development of their infants. Not the proper foods or nutrients because rather than eat normal foods like they did in their countries they are eating all the worst stuff here in this country and that has to count for something during pregnancy and infancy. Now even public schools have to keep autistic children and non-autistic children together rather than in separate classrooms causing problems with both groups being able to get the proper care and education they need.
My niece has sever autistic. She is very fast and strong. You can't keep an eye on them every second or tide them up so they dont move. Especially very hard if the family dont have any medical resources to help.
I worked with SEVERELY autistic kids for 4 years, 90% of the families would allow all sorts of bad behavior because they were too lazy to deal with things properly, those kids were horrifically spoiled. The 10% of families that actually were very strict and consistent had absolutely wonderful kids. I quit that job because I couldn't deal with the helicopter moms threatening to have me fired or sued for restraining their kid who was literally trying to bite another kids face off (happened three times) There is also only so many times you can have your nose smashed in from a headbutt and still stay clam and level. We have an autism epidemic and a lack of parenting (accountability) epidemic, the cross section will destroy society
So you would be okay if a total stranger walked up to your child (with or without special needs)? I highly doubt it. Yes the young boy shouldn’t have touched his car but that was no way to react as an adult.Not acceptable to slap a child like that. What a bunch of ignorant replies.
Watching from Australia. ❤ blessings to this family i am glad that people are supporting and helping them. Alex Manzo you have a heart of Gold 💛 Foot note the guy who hit this child should be charged.
first of all, that was hardly a slap, kid didn't feel a thing guaranteed except maybe hot their feelings hurt. i understand the kid has autism but teach your kid some basic manners like not to touch random people's stuff
That's LA for you. The city is corrupt, allowing out of country investors into the housing market. It's hard to afford rent here. A lot of people are stuggling. I hope this family is able to get a home. It's not right that this is what this family has to go through.
Aren't hood ornaments adjustable/movable (for safety)? Like, can he just move it back after the kid moved it? If that's the case then that dude SERIOUSLY has a stick up his...
@@thefox47545 Bending is permanent damage. It is unacceptable that this kid goes around touching everything and is destructive, and the family allows it. If your child has a disability, it is all the more important that you train him to behave, for his own safety.
Right fast! They are both wrong cuz the kids parent shouldn't have let the kid near the car emblem if he was going to bend it and almost rip it off so I'd be mad also but he shouldnt have hit the little kid but the mother should pay for the damages!
Nobody should hit a child, at the same time the child should not have damaged other people's property, and if he is mentally impaired then it is the responsibility of the accompanying person to ensure that he keeps his hands to himself.
In todays world, I’d say this was staged so the family….who I’d love to see documentation for….get a GoFundMe. And if not, don’t touch other peoples expensive cars they *work* for.
"a condition that doesn't exist." Autism exists, but it's overdiagnosed because the autism industry is a criminal enterprise, full of health insurance fraud. The people typing here that they have autism and "we don't need fixing" are not autistic, they are part of the overdiagnosed for profit crowd. Everyone has to have a gimmick. Probably 85% of kids diagnosed with autism are not really autistic. The whole "muh it's a big spectrum" is the lie.
The sad thing is that it takes bad stuff like this for people to actually start acting Ofc there’s a lot of people who helped that didn’t know they existed before, but I’m sure a lot of ppl from the community we’re already aware

One time I was waiting for a Metro bus and this boy who looked like a teenager or possibly preteen was standing nearby and kept getting close to me. I kept looking at him crazy and was about to say something to him until I realized he had something wrong with him. Down syndrome or something and then I noticed he was being assisted by an adult male. I felt bad afterwards and I'm glad I didn't say anything to him. I was about to tell him to back the heck up and that he was rude. Lol. It must be hard for the chaperones, especially loved ones, who watch over these types of kids and fearing somebody will mess with them or not realize something is wrong with them mentally and that it is not their fault. Always having to explain that to ppl, too.. I feel for them and the kids. 😢
I never feel guilty for having my personal space invaded. It is with due cause, that disabled or not, you have respect.
@@E.V.A.N-COProductions I understand that. But I excused him bc I could tell he didn't have the mental capacity to understand that what he was doing was pretty bothersome. I could tell by the faces he was making. Also, I remember he even took his weewee out and started to pee by me too. That's when I knew he really wasn't right .. Then I saw what was probably his dad come around to take care of him. Lol.
@@E.V.A.N-COProductions Duh? But that’s not what this guy felt guilty about, he felt guilty about what he was ABOUT to do.

It takes a small man to hit an autistic child. So sad and uncalled for.
by the way he recoiled his arm after slapping, you can really tell what a coward of a man he is, truly despicable.
I agree, but the one supervising the autistic child should have not allowed him to bend / destroy that mans property. Guess he would have been more in the right to slap the supervising older sister or the childs mother / father. Either way the dude got his merc messed up, likely his baby, his pride and joy, and someone recklessly destroyed the hood ornament. Be it on bad parenting, autism, hot temper, or whatever, I'd say slapping the kid quick and obviously not full on swing, knock em over kinda power, is a far better reaction vs what crazy stuff you see others doing these days... I mean they are living out of a vehicle, what if the dude decided to call the cops? Press charges? Dad would likely rather he just give his son a lil slap at the end of the day. The whole situation is just wrong all around from all parties involved. Sucks it's a kid stuck in the middle tho :/
I dont know at that point that he knew the kid had autism….but u shouldnt go slapping a random kid regardless.
🙄 how the hell would he know the kid was autistic? All he probably saw was a kid vandalise his car and sit there laughing about it.
Maybe his carers should control the kid better to avoid. Maybe make him wear a shirt that clearly explains his mental condition.
It looks like he barely touched him. Like a soft slap.

God Bless all of those in my community who have reached this family. It shows we still have beautiful people in Pacoima.

The family shouldn’t be blessed, the man should. Instead the family should get sued because the kid damaged the man’s property. It doesn’t matter how many disabilities you have, it doesn’t justify you to break other people’s property

This family needs to do better bc within 4 years he's this exact action away from getting ventilated instead of mildly slapped.
Even if your kid loves to touch things, autism or not, you should still teach your kid to keep their hands to themselves and at the very least teach them the habit of asking permission to touch something that isnt theirs
Neither sides are in the right imo
Are you serious? You can barely teach a severely autistic kid to blow his nose or drink from a cup. They don't understand words or even simple direction.
If you have a way to teach them boundaries which is something very difficult close to impossible to explain to them, then you deserve a Nobel prize for revolutionary findings in the field. Please educate yourself before talking nonsense and learn to be more tolerant.
These parents are exhausted and have been through enough.
The man should not have hit the kid make that clear. However the boy should not be braking hood ornaments on peoples Mercedes or other cars just because he has autism doesn't give him the right to vandalize cars and he should be prosecuted for destruction of private property. And if they know he likes touching things that don't belong to him they need to pay more attention to him and his hands. He is lucky he just got slapped in other neighborhoods it could have been way worse him and his sister.
The kid did not break the hood ornament. It moves as part of the process of opening the hood along with a second tab that pops the hood open. He hit him because he thought he was laughing at him. He was on an ego trip. If he had controlled his anger, he would not be in this mess.
Prosecuted? an autistic child? Seriously? 🤦 Obviously, you don't have a relative or a child who has autism. They are categorized as "disabled" because the majority of them (especially in severe cases) cannot control themselves, nor understand their environment. I would understand if their parents would be the ones to be liable for the kids' actions, but your opinion is nonetheless inept of people with autism.
He bent it. Ita the flexible ornament type. It's absolutely never acceptable from a grown man to hit a Lil kid.
@@imatter4619 Well... the kid is in for a surprise when he grow up and keeps destroying other people's stuff. His child face won't be able to save him anymore.
Dont send your autistic child out into the street with another child who cannot control them. That kid is parents responsibility & should be charged for damages. Dude shouldn't have smacked him, but Mercedes are expensive he worked his asz off for that car only for some parents to ignore their burden allowing him to become others burdens by destroying property. Sick or not dont touch things that arent yours.
I know from experience that many times kids with Autism are never held to any standard, because the parents are completely incapable of dealing with the child. So, when the poor child comes into contact with normal people “in the wild”, the kid is likely to get themselves in trouble.
This.
Yes, my friend has a special needs brother and her family is very careful with him in public.
Autistic adult here, yeah majority of parents don’t raise us right, whether they raise us as if we’re non disabled, or they use our disabilities to make excuses for us “not knowing better” when they are the ones that are meant to teach us in ways we’re meant to understand.
Autism is a spectrum and you really don't know where this child lands. And aside from parenting and autism, would you slap any child for touching your car? Like for real, as a grown person, would you do that to somebody half your size and a fraction of your age?
I think it's embarrassing that a grown man would do that.
@@Panfila303 I didn’t even watch the video, so I can’t comment specifically on what this guy did, but I ve worked with autistic kids , and often times, it’s those kids who are violent and throw the first punch, or get themselves in trouble some other way. Autism is not an excuse to act crazy, and as Kamala says, which I don’t agree, that it takes a community to raise the kids. Actually, it just takes the parents, but if the parents won’t do the job, then it falls on the community to do it. One way or another, an autistic child will be raised by the parents, by the community, or by the police.
Both sides are wrong. Family shouldve watch the kid so he doesnt break anything which he did on an expensive car that the owner has to pay out of pocket. Id be pissed too if someone was vandalizing my car but also wrong on the guy to slap the kid. Keep it civil.

Nah, doesn't matter if your kid is autistic, control your kids behavior. That man shouldn't have slapped the kid, but still, having an autistic child doesn't mean you're going to let them act out. The only abuse I see are two very irresponsible parents neglecting to keep their children housed. On top of that, this is Pacoima. People are outraged over this, but have no problem when their kids are out at 3am stealing cars.
I agree this is a action of neglect from the parents not my damn problem that you can't control ur child, I wonder why the damn parents are so figuratively blind at their neglectful actions and continues to play the role of victim
But since this is showing evidence of being too doubled edged both are in the wrong, 2 wrongs aint making a rational choice.
@@Chxmically My gut tells me they use the kid's disability to get sympathy and money. Their van has "My child has autism spectrum disorder" scribbled on the side. 100% they use that kid for begging the way some use a puppy or baby in a stroller to make people more inclined to give. He's their little moneymaker.
It's clear you don't understand the difference between severe and high-functioning autism. With a severely autistic child, it's not as simple as "control your kid". Many of them have the mentality of a toddler and sometimes can get away from you in the blink of an eye to run towards something that has caught their attention. No parent is "letting them act out" and the best they can do is explain and apologize in a situation like this.
@@Chxmically I’m so sorry for the way your parents raised you. 😒
IM GOING AGAINST THE GRAIN HERE but as far as I can see, it doesn't even qualify as a slap because he barely touched him. I understand his anger of his car getting damaged and kid who did it is laughing and the family wasn't in any position to make it Right! Did HE KNOW the kid was Autistic or proof that he did?? THAT BEING SAID NOBODY SHOULD EVER LAY A HAND ON ANOTHER MANS KID!! An adult doing this is crazy!!!
Not sure what the mother said or what language barriers existed, but I doubt the driver knew the child was autistic. People will clamor on that though just like any hate crime where people throw around somebodies disabilities/ethnicities/etc in order to justify more punishment. It's also a shield to muffle the outrage bad behavior would normally result in.
I could understand if the child (or mother) said that they were autistic and then bent the drivers emblem back. Don't think this situation went down like that.
The autistic child was not laughing, he is too autistic to understand the situation. what you are seeing is not laughter and it is not malicious. You can see the older sister talking really fast to the man, I will assume she is trying to explain and apologize for what has happened (that is what it looks like). The older sister is NOT laughing OR smiling, she is very serious and concerned because she understands the situation and she looks scared. Yes the child damaged the mans car but that does NOT, under any circumstances, justify a grown man hitting a child he doesn't even know! In what world, does what the man did, help the situation or fix the car ornament in any way ?
Whatever, maliciously putting your hands on a LITTLE KID automatically makes you the one in the wrong.
his car wasnt damaged though, and he knew it. those ornaments are on a spring mechanism, they ALWAYS have been. they bend 360* without breaking, and if pushed back specifically, they'll lie back. pull them slightly up or forward, and they return to the upright position. maybe you somehow went rhoguh life never touching a hood ornament to not realize this, but every single Mercedes owner knows this. he knew to an absolute certainty that nothing was broken or damaged in the least. he just got so upset over a small, young child DARING to touch his car, that he pulled over, got out, screamed long enough for someone to record, then slapped him
If you don't teach your child manners at home, they'll be thought by the streets. The parent should have offered to pay for the damage first and foremost, instead of hiding behind the kid's condition. The slap was wrong, but not surprising.
One slap and now they get a new home
Grifting will cost them their souls long term.
Y’all are sick
“Touched his Mercedes” THE HOOD ORNAMENT WAS HANGING LOSE!!!

This is nuts. The kids vandalized the guy’s car and got rewarded for it, and everyone is patting him on his back like a hero? Meanwhile the guy’s life is getting destroyed for something that barely counts as a slap? I thought he legit knocked the kid out, but he barely touched him. America is nuts. People are so out for blood. I don’t even blame the kids, since he’s mentally ill, but it’s his parents/caretakers’ job to supervise him 24/7 if he can’t be left alone. Society shouldn’t have to endure your devil spawn just because he has issues.
I have to agree! Disabled or not, letting your kid run around and vandalize other’s belongings is unacceptable. And no obviously he shouldn’t have touched the boy at all, you don’t hurt children, you settle the damages with his parents. Americans’ need to constantly start gofundme’s for anyone they feel sorry for is weird to me. That being said, living in a van is incredibly sad 😢
I'm a mechanic, and I assure you mercedes emblem CAN NOT be vandalized , The German engineers made sure that not to happen , I can bring you my mercedes today if you are in LA and give you $1000 and 1 hour to try to break my mercedes emblem. But if can't break it in 1 hour you will have to give me $1000.
Exactly.
Mentally handicapped kids like this need to be supervised
You're absolutely correct, but no one wants to hear it. It implies the parents did not uphold their responsibilities and no parent of an autistic (or otherwise) child wants to be forced to relate
WHOS MENTAL HERE YOU
Not going to lie if anyone bent the hood ornament on my Mercedes (if I owned one) I'd be pretty upset too. Yes, what he did was wrong but I am sure there are several others in this comment section that would have been angry with the kid as well. Hard to say how you'd really react if you weren't there. The heat of the moment is different than watching a TH-cam video.
Mercedes hood ornaments are mounted so they can move, because if they were permanently upright they would be a significant hazard for pedestrians who were struck by this car.
It's $70 bucks to get replaced at the official Benz site. I mean if he can afford the car he can afford to replace it. But to Slap a child?!?!?!
This video is disingenuous, the boy bent the freaking emblem of the car as he was trying to remove it, this happened while the mom was present which is scummy low life behavior. Also that's a tap and not a slap, didn't even make contact with the boys face.
Yeah, it was a bit much, dude still shouldn’t have touched the kid. I have an autistic kid, extremely hard to control in public. Think of a two year old toddler in a 10 year old body, they have impulses, can’t exactly put them in a stroller or carry them like conventional babies
@@CharlieVN meh, someone finally did the kid a favor, and everyone in the community completely derailed the teaching moment. Vultures

Your comment is full of lies,, i never put the blame on the child or his disabilities.
I put the blame on the mother who just sat there while her son damaged someone else's property. Just because the child is mentally disabled doesn't mean the world should give him free reign to do as he wishes, there has to be some sort of control.

Go educate yourself on severe autism. There is nothing these parents can do. Their lives are horrible and they are exhausted all the time. It's almost impossible to control severe autism, and these parents try to do it every day to no end.

Y'all understand how much a Mercedes cost? Is the owner broke? Can't go back to the dealership to order a new one for 200$. Maybe don't buy a Mercedes if you can't afford it.
I have a little brother with severe autism, and he is non verbal too. He has the mind of a two year old, so he does not understand at all when you talk to him. However, we have our own house with a garden and a great support system, and he goes to school where he learns how to watch out for dangers and how to behave on the street. We do not live in the US, we're from Germany.
I think the boy in the video is just like my brother, however his condition is worst than my brother, because he does not have stable conditions and it does not look like he goes to school or ever learnt how to socialise. I hope he will be able to get behavioral therapy and the chance to socialise with other kids in school. Of course something like this happens when he A) a severely autistic kid who was never taught meets B) a grown man who obviously lacks the exposure of special needs people.
Also, comments suggesting to leave people home just because they are autistic - this is impossible. They are human beings too, and they require exercise and exposure to other people as well, or they will get "crazy". Also, you need to watch them all the time because they literally do not understand dangers.
ABA is a criminal enterprise. A total racket.
As an autistic myself, autism should never be excused, always disciplined. Autism requires far more discipline to keep it under control than the average child.

Ok so the kid didn’t deserve a slap but that guy didn’t deserve to have his hood ornament bent either. Parents need to take responsibility for teaching the child and watching him in public. What’s it going to be when he’s ten years older? Does he just randomly assault people instead of vandalize? Just because he has autism doesn’t mean he gets a free pass.
Exactly
People are absolutely too comfortable putting thier hands on children that aren’t even there own.
This is not at all true. In general, people don't go around slapping other people's children. Back in the 40s, 50s, and 60s, that might have been the case, but not these days. The days of the strap in the classroom is long gone for example.

So? Accidents happen..if an adult has so little self control that he slaps a disabled child and ppl are ok with that, then we truly have lost America.
Btw as I am seeing both sides for this I will say both are in the wrong, first the parents needs to teach their children about touching stuff whether they have autism or not, And about the guy that slapped the child, that action is too far, In conclusion; teach your child, don't make an excuse, and hitting a random child is wrong.
But they fail to mention why he slapped him in the first place? If someone messes with an expensive car, sorry to break it to you, this falls on the parent’s shoulders. Understandably, you shouldn’t lay your hands on someone with mental disabilities, however the parents are at fault here. What bothers me even more is the fact that they’re playing the victims here 🤣 your son messed with someones car and all of a sudden his response is all people care about.
Being autistic isn't an excuse to touch someone's property. That's comparable to a person with ADHD beating someone or destroying something, then it's justified by saying "oh well he has ADHD so therefore not liable for any damage or crime". No, that's simply not how the world works. People have all sorts of mentality. Someone out there won't tolerate their property being messed with regardless of who the perpetrator is, as clearly seen in this video. Also that slap wasn't even that hard, it seemed more like a disciplinary slap. But it's not suprising why people are so upset and whining about it, the world has become soft as hell.
💯💯💯
Soooo its ok to break the hood ornament of someone elses car just because im autistic? Lets say he didnt slap the kid…now what? Im sure all those supporters will help right? We get the slap part but apparently no one cares about property or consequences. I mean they said he likes to touch things so you would think if you take him places you would pay attention…just sayin.
why does literally nobody seem to know how car hood ornaments work? they've been making them the exact same way for at least five decades now. they attach with a heavy duty spring mechanism. they can be bent 360 degrees, never causing any damage. of you push them backwards specifically, they'lll lay down. The slightest pull forward or up, and they jump back to the default standing position. you can bend one backwards like this 50,000 times and not break it. this is like think you've "broken" a door by opening it. he bent it a way it is specifically engineered to bend harmlessly. and the car owner would have known this, even if you dont
Thats not the point…you cant go around doing whatever you want, especially going up to a car and messing with it physically…and of course dudes an idiot for slapping the kid. 2 wrongs dont make a right 😎 dont blame society because apparently this kid needs a leash, thats on the parents. Mayne best he stays home if this has been an issue? Anyhow we are all just living in a world others think is their own

He's autistic, not braindead. Autistic people can learn right from wrong and to act accordingly. You can take that from someone with Asperger's.
No kid should be harmed.. especially by an adult male.. freaking coward !!!
Why don’t they speak English? And why wasn’t she watching her brother from destroying peoples property? Are they citizens of this country?
it wasnt damaged. Mercedes hood ornaments.... and virtually ever car ornament for the past 45 years +, are attached with a spring mechanism. they bend 360 degrees and lie flat backwards, never causing damage. you just slightly lift or pull the medallion with the tiniest pit of pressure and they return to the default standing position. i suppose they do this because it makes it much harder for them to be broken off, you would have to be not just a man, but a strong man to ever actually break one. and while you somehow went through life never realizing this very basic thing, the Mercedes owner 100% knew
It’s very misleading!!!! What would everyone else do if their prize possession item was destroyed or damaged by that autistic boy……. I think most of everyone would be very upset and would confront the boy. The man didn’t slap the boy for no reason!!! The boy damaged the man’s vehicle and because he’s autistic that somehow justifies his actions!!! I have an autistic cousin and he does the same behavior and we have him super close to us in order to prevent a situation from happening.
I agree with everything you stated but that doesn’t mean a grown man should hit someone else’s child, especially one that is autistic.

But if you have a kid that does that, you gotta confine that behavior. Mercedes isn't cheap! That guy has a right to his property being free from damage too. He didn't hit him that hard, ffs! It was just a little pat. Did he wind up and slug him? No.
The family is getting resources to help them. I think that man shouldn't hit anybody. I also think autistic people don't have the right to damage property either. I think the two acts should cancel each other out.
"Teenager damages car while parents stand by and do nothing" doesn't have the same ring to it, I guess.
I was looking passively out the picture windows of the laundromat I manage and realized there was an adult black male smoking a blunt with his car doors swung open sitting there staring at the two little kids 'with him' as they were prying up the newly repaired asphalt from our parking lot. A toddler staggering around with a square foot of tarmac and the other throwing the rubble and bits across the lot. I went outside and just asked "What the hell am I looking at, here?!?" Jesus, people.

How is everyone acting like the kid did nothing wrong?
As someone who has autism, that cellphone video was painful to watch for me. I may be higher on the spectrum than the boy, but that doesn't matter to me. Autism is autism, regardless of where you are on the spectrum. That man is a coward for slapping the boy for doing something he loves doing, not even realizing that it's just a part of who he is. And to the SoCal community, you all have big hearts. Not only are you standing up for the boy and his family, but you're doing everything you can to make sure this family has a better future. To all who are helping this family, you have my full support. I hope the man get justice, and the boy and his family get the resources they need to have a bright future ahead. If there's ANYTHING I can do to spread the word about this, please let me know. I want to make sure this boy and his family are safe and in a place where they can feel safe.
I'm glad that family is getting the support they need, but I feel like the man was penalized too harshly for an event that clearly induced major stress in him. He could have done far worse, and it does take patience and humility to avoid conflict in a situation like this.
L take, brohiem.
The guy was wrong to do that. Seems the amount of autistic Hispanics is outrageously high. It's obviously not only them who suffer from it, but it seems like a lack of intelligence and understanding in their diet is making a huge difference and the development of their infants. Not the proper foods or nutrients because rather than eat normal foods like they did in their countries they are eating all the worst stuff here in this country and that has to count for something during pregnancy and infancy. Now even public schools have to keep autistic children and non-autistic children together rather than in separate classrooms causing problems with both groups being able to get the proper care and education they need.
That wasn’t even a hard slap and that kid even if he is autistic broke the guys car and was laughing about it

I worked with SEVERELY autistic kids for 4 years, 90% of the families would allow all sorts of bad behavior because they were too lazy to deal with things properly, those kids were horrifically spoiled. The 10% of families that actually were very strict and consistent had absolutely wonderful kids. I quit that job because I couldn't deal with the helicopter moms threatening to have me fired or sued for restraining their kid who was literally trying to bite another kids face off (happened three times) There is also only so many times you can have your nose smashed in from a headbutt and still stay clam and level. We have an autism epidemic and a lack of parenting (accountability) epidemic, the cross section will destroy society
