At KABC-TV in Los Angeles, Rob McMillan reports on a Colton, CA middle school student with autism.
"Every time when I start school, I've been bullied," Samuel Aragon, 13, said. "I just want the bullying to stop."
Aragon's mother, Desiree Reyes, said her son was particularly troubled by a recent incident, in which her son's Nike shoes were stolen. The black and white Air Jordans were allegedly stolen from his locker by a classmate.
"It's not fair for kids who don't speak up, or can't speak up, because their voices can't be heard," Reyes said.
Furious, Reyes posted a request for help on Facebook, alerting parents to what happened.
But what happened next was a surprise. The community raised $215 to buy her son a new pair of shoes. The effort was spearheaded by Colton resident Daniella Chavez.
