“All I know is we’re not guilty of anything”
Though this is enough to make anyone angry, I feel enraged. I have a sister who is handicapped and I’ve been around many autistic children over the years. To hear how this one was tortured and terrified until he died makes he want to torture and terrify the idiots involved.
How *anyone* involved can say that they’re not guilty of anything is ridiculous. Maybe the boys death was accidental, but they were certainly responsible. They restrained him. They beat him. All so that God could “fix him”.
I came across another version of the story here. This article states that these “church” members would meet at the boy’s house three days a week for “prayer sessions”. When they would arrive, the boy would cry and panic, and a neighbor noticed bruises and a fat lip after some of these sessions.
Shame on these fools for thinking this is something they could “exorcise”. Shame on the mother for letting these people touch her child.

Autopsy determined that the boy suffocated. His chest had been restricted from expanding.
