Mother Allegedly Kidnaps Autistic Son’s Bully to Force Apology
A 40-year-old mother in Provo, Utah, was charged with kidnapping and aggravated child abuse after allegedly abducting her autistic son’s 11-year-old bully. Court documents say she forced the boy into her car and held him at her home until he apologized. She reportedly threatened to have her husband beat the child and warned she could have run over his bike. The incident left the boy with high anxiety and forced him to alter his daily routine. Initially charged with first-degree felonies, the charges were reduced to second-degree in the interest of justice. The case highlights concerns about parental intervention and the rights of children on the autism spectrum.
