FLORIDA — Video posted on social media showing a student beating and bullying a boy with autism at Liberty High School has sparked outrage online.
The footage shows an unidentified student punching Luis Alejandro Osechas Carrillo, a Venezuelan student diagnosed with autism, at Liberty High School in Kissimmee.
Online reports also claim Carrillo was brutally attacked even after the video ended, as other classmates took him to the bathroom and beat him.
School officials have since taken to Twitter saying that the incident occurred back in October and that the students involved in the case had already been “appropriately disciplined.”
What sanctions were taken against those involved is unknown.
