Attack on autistic Mishawaka teen posted to YouTubeby John Paul (jpaul@wsbt.com)
This frame from a video shows a teen punching a 16-year-old autistic Mishawaka boy in the face. The video was posted to YouTube. MISHAWAKA — A 16-year-old with autism was punched in the face, and someone posted video of the attack on YouTube. Multimedia The incident happened in June at Merrifield Park, but the family did not see who was responsible for the attack until the video was posted. Now the family wants the teen attacker to face charges. Mishawaka police are now involved but because an investigation is pending, they refused to comment. The family has plenty to say after their 16-year-old was punched in the face for the cyber-world's amusement. “I know the kid knows [he] has problems, so I don't know why he would do that,” said Joyce Vermillion, mother of the boy who was hit. The attack on the autistic teen was caught on camera and placed online for the world to see. “I was really mad that someone would be that cruel and put it on a computer,” said Vermillion. “It was absolutely horrible,” added Amber Fairchild, the boy's sister. Vermilion and Fairchild re-live the horror every time they see the video. “You can see in the videotape where [he’s] not realizing quite what's going to happen to him because he's standing there and he's smiling,” Vermillion said. The attack lasted two minutes. “He wasn't even doing anything,” Fairchild said. “The kid just walked up to him and you see my brother backing up in the video.” After 30 seconds of talking, the attacker throws the punch, knocking the victim to the ground. Psychologist Hugh VanAuken said violent incidents posted online appear to be growing in popularity. “They’re looking for a thrill,” VanAuken said. Dr. VanAuken believes with advances in technology, bullies get pleasure as people around the world respond to their attacks. “In the 1980s and 90s, playing video games was fun for kids,” VanAuken said. “Now we have kids seeking their thrills by being aggressive, posting it on the Internet, and showing everyone how cool they are in doing these sorts of things." While the 16-year-old's attack is no longer on YouTube, his sister captured the video from the site to show police. “First it was bad enough that they did it. Then they videotaped it. Then they made it into a joke. They did it in slow motion and they replayed it frame by frame," Fairchild said. "It hurts my feelings so bad, it hurts my heart.” The family says the boy's face was swollen after the attack, but since then he has been doing well. The video helped the family identify his attacker, who attends the same high school. Mishawaka police said the police report was filed Tuesday and officers are on the case.

Seems crazy I know but I had children to teach them well and love them. Why does everyone else seem to have such a hard time controlling their kids when mine has "issues" and I can do it just fine. I think after a few years of judo my boy will not be bothered by thugs like this. And why aren't the cops patrolling these parks better? And where are the parents?

It would be nice to know if they will be held accountable for their unjust use of physical force to injure another person. I hope the court system takes the maximum action in this case.

Then they need to be educated on people with disabilities as well as learning how to respect themselves and others, they need to be given community service hours working with people with disabilities at LOGAN Center or another agency in the area. If they are non-compliant in any way they need to be placed in a residential school such as Kokomo Academy! Friday, Aug 29 at 8:49 AM Linda wrote ...Timmy T. Are you just stupid or what? 1. Why would you watch the video unless you are a creep yourself which you must be. 2. The autistic teen got punched in the face so where is the humor in that. 3. You are still stupid! 4. Get yourself some professional help. You need it. Friday, Aug 29 at 6:32 AM jp&me2 wrote ...I hope all that were involved in the attack are prosecuted to the full extent. If they get away with this it just opens the door for more idiots to do the same or worse. Make an example now and show these punks. Why wait for it to escalate to something even more severe. Put them in a place where they can't "hit and run". If it is not dealt with now, it will only get worse. Friday, Aug 29 at 5:54 AM Sam wrote ...Our Autistic teen thinks the attackers could have benefited from some "Social Skills" classes. That way they could have learned the appropriate way to act. Friday, Aug 29 at 3:32 AM sw wrote ...I know this attack did not happen at school, but it seems to me if the schools can teach sex education, why can't they implement a program to teach peers about how you should treat others. Teach them how we all have differences,teach them not only to respect others,but also how to respect themselves. Obviously these attackers did not learn respect at home. Some of the public schools could also educate their staff,as my grandson has been bullied by a teacher in front of peers. Bless the family.

If someone hit my son (whether he has a disability or not) I would be doing something about it right then, especially if he was just innocently there on the swing and the other kid started hitting him!
