Last week, a pizza restaurant incident left an autistic son of an Arizona couple beaten up, and they are now pursuing justice.
On May 7, Vincent Courey, a 16-year-old teenager with autism who cannot speak, visited a Peoria restaurant where his siblings are employed to have some pizza.
According to his parents, he tapped someone on the shoulder while observing others play games.
Vincent's mother, Debora Escobar, informed FOX 10 Phoenix that he has autism and does not communicate verbally.
He has no intention of causing any harm.
According to reports, a group of customers were angered by the teenager's gesture, which they perceived as his way of communicating, and proceeded to physically assault him.
Vincent's father, Michael Escobar, described how they took him to a place without any cameras or witnesses, and proceeded to physically assault him before attempting to flee the area.
Ohio residents who acted as Good Samaritans quickly came to the aid of a police officer who was in a physical altercation on the side of the road. One witness, Debora, reported that the suspects were hitting her son, who is unable to communicate verbally. She expressed her disapproval of the suspects' actions, stating that "you don't do that to a woman."
He was repeatedly struck.
He was unable to utter the word "stop".
Michael witnessed a situation where someone was being physically harmed but was unable to communicate their distress. Despite feeling powerless, Michael took action by contacting the police after hearing two groups of people shouting at each other in a restaurant.
He was unaware that his son had made physical contact with someone until he was informed afterwards.
I am considering that it is unlikely for my son to behave in such a manner.
Michael stated that the manner in which it was expressed gave the impression that the touch was inappropriate.
Debora reported that Vincent arrived at home with welts all over his body.
The Peoria Police Department informed Fox News Digital that they have recognized a potential culprit, but the individual, who is a 24-year-old from El Mirage, has not been taken into custody yet.
Although the police have suggested that an assault charge be brought against Vincent to Peoria City Court, his parents have stated that they will persist in advocating for their son.
Michael stated that he has forgiven them, however, forgiveness does not imply that they cannot be held responsible, and you can click here to obtain the Fox News app.
