Parents Of Teen With Autism Say He Was Bullied At Deerfield High School
"My son sent me a text from school saying, 'Mom, something horrible has happened to me,'" said Ilise Zeiger.
DEERFIELD, IL (CBS) — Those parents are now asking the north suburban school district in which their son is enrolled to place him in a safe setting. But CBS 2 Political Investigator Dana Kozlov found it has become a fight.
“My son sent me a text from school saying, ‘Mom, something horrible has happened to me,’” said Ilise Zeiger. That is how Zeiger said the Deerfield High School nightmare started for her 15-year-old son. We are not showing or naming him, so as to add a layer of protection to his identity. “He said, ‘Kids were pointing at me and laughing and me in a class that I was in, and I got up to see what was going on, and I noticed that there was a video taken of me when I was in the bathroom stall – and they were watching this on Snapchat,’” Zeiger said.
