A Minnesota woman appeared in court yesterday, charged with violating a restraining order preventing her and her autistic son from attending their local catholic church.

The Church of St Joseph in Bertha, Minnesota took out the restraining order after 13 year old Adam Race, who suffers from autism, assaulted another child, spat at worshipers and urinated in the church font. Daniel Walz, the church pastor says he was forced to take action to protect the congregation from the six foot, sixteen stone teenager.

Being an agnostic, I do not have much sympathy for Churches,or religions of any stripe.
But such behaviour, autistic or not, is totally un-acceptable.

That "boy" deserves a severe beating to make him realize that other people deserve respect,regardless of their being in a Church or not.
The mother should have to take "sensitivity training"
Or something.

Great story. Made me chuckle, in spite of the content.
