GiveForward Rallies for Autistic Boy Betrayed with Ice Bucket Prank

I have to be honest.  A few weeks ago, when I saw the video circulating Facebook of the  ALS Ice Bucket Challenge prank being played on a 14 year old autistic boy in Bay Village video, I couldn't watch.  Horrible acts like that tear too much at my heartstrings, and it was easier for me to let everyone else spread the word to try to catch the people than it was for me to share the message. Then, I noticed that celebs like Drew Carey, Jenny McCarthy, and Donnie Wahlberg put together a pretty hefty reward to help find the kids…

This kid is cute, and I love him and all that But don't let his cute little face fool you.  He's clearly got a thing or two to learn about his own responsibilities. It started when I got a note in his agenda stating that he owes 25 cents on a library late fee (they've been in school for a how is this possible?), and that he has a book that's missing.  If we do not find it, the cost of the book is $ We've looked for it.  He's adamant that it's at school.  His teacher is adamant that it's not.…

Now that school has started back up, we all have a ton of things going on!  For us, we have activities six nights out of the week.  Between jujitsu and church, the only night we have absolutely free after school is Monday, and that's usually set aside to get the bulk of homework done for the week!  On Fridays, jujitsu lets out early, so that's the day (if we do not have something else planned) that we like to try to set aside for Netflix Movie Night.  We don't really feel like driving out to the city so I'll most…
