Another autistic kid was killed this week.

[conuly]

And there's the usual group of neighbors swearing up and down that the dad never did a thing wrong by his son until then, kid was inseperable from him, loved him very much - and one or two saying that they *saw* the man being inexplicably violent towards his kid. ACS had already been called before, for other reasons.

I didn't post about this before because, it's the weirdest thing, when I first saw the article, it was on NY1 (my homepage on this computer), and it was about a father claiming "the voices told me to kill him". Sad, but not a personal interest to me. One can't write about *every* murder.

And now we have an entirely different story (whether it's the same man or not, I don't know), and I've been puzzling it over in my mind before posting. This story, the father says his friends encouraged him to kill his son. Well, bully for them, they're accomplices to murder. Great job.

Happy thanksgiving, everybody.
