Take Care of Those Who Can't Care For Themselves

I recently stayed with a friend in Healdsberg. I was deeply saddened and shocked to find that an abused autistic child lived next door to her on Paul
Wittke Dr. The adolescent boy is allowed to run free and without clothing. The people he lives with use a hose full blast on him in an attempt to control him while he screams. An autistic child needs special care. The authorities have done nothing to help this poor child who cannot help himself. I don't want to think about what happens to him behind closed doors. Please do something, people of Healdsberg. Don't let this kind of abuse go on under your noses.
