The case of Rutledge Deas IV is one of the sickest things I've seen in my life.

The non verbal autistic child was allegedly tasered and left unconscious in a pool of his own urine.

A Canadian family is the focus of national attention this week after receiving a hate letter aimed at their autistic child.
