This week one of the most horrific case of evil against an autistic child happened, One teen is accused of flicking the lighter after Michael Brewer, an autistic teen, was doused with rubbing alcohol. He also faces an attempted second-degree murder charge. All of the teens face the possibility of having their cases moved to adult court.

Brewer's doctor said he is doing as well as can be expected, but faces years of skin grafts, therapy and surgery, and that potentially fatal organ failure and infections are common in cases so severe.
