nd I thought I had experienced disruptive kids!
Carol Race can't take her son to church. One Sunday she tried... and the Sheriff was waiting at the end of her driveway. The church had filed a restraining order. But according to this twin cities Star Tribune article, Carol's son isn't your average 13-year-old.
The Rev. Daniel Walz, who did not return calls left at the Church of St. Joseph parish office, wrote in court documents that Adam's behavior was "extremely disruptive and dangerous." He alleged that Adam, who is more than 6 feet tall and weighs over 225 pounds, spits and urinates in church and has nearly injured children and elderly people.
Wow. This wouldn't be an easy situation for anyone. Carol's son is autistic. Shouldn't he be able to attend church? At the same time, are there boundaries of what behavior is tolerable?
How do we minister to special needs kids?
