This is just completely unacceptable and down right upsetting. I am sure Willuam only gives love and acceptance, he should be treated with equal respect!

Criminal charges SHOULD be brought against the 'professional' that was assigned to help William. This wouldn't be an issue if it was a regularly functioning child and a teacher. Just because William was blessed with an additional chromosome, doesn't mean that he doesn't count. Get your act together, Harris County D.A.!!!

Entrusting our children to schools with standards of excellence is the priority. This is an issue worth pursuing!

As a mother of a daughter with Down Syndrome, I find the assault itself horrifying, and the fact that the school did not call the police immediately a cover up. Had it been a child who could verbalize the assault and tell their parents as soon as they got out of school, I am absolutely certain the school would have handled it differently to cover their butts, but as the child was not verbal, there was a slight chance they could keep this quiet. As for the Attorney choosing not to seek criminal charges, he is the shame of his profession. Since when do assault charges not get filed when an assault has been committed. Whether or not there are injuries visible on the victim, the emotional trauma is still a valid reason to prosecute.

Monsters shouldn't work with kids, nor get off lightly when physically hurting anyone.
