The ALS ice bucket challenge was all the rage last month, raising millions of dollars for a wonderful cause. But when a group of teenagers decided to use the charity event to play a cruel prank on a boy with Autism, they made the mistake of thinking they'd get away with it.
Now, Drew Carey, along with a few other celebrities, have offered up more than $10,000 in rewards if someone comes forward with the identities of the teenagers who pulled the prank.
"Just saw this. Horrendous. These kids should be arrested and expelled," Carey posted on social media after seeing the prank video, in which a group of kids drop a bucket of "ice water" on the autistic boy that was actually filled with "urine, feces, spit and cigarette butts." The boy's mother said he had no idea what was in the bucket, and since the incident was taped on his phone, finding the kids who did it has been difficult.
"No child is born wanting to do this," celebrity talk show host Montel Williams wrote on his social media account, joining Carey in his quest for justice. "We have to as parents, ask ourselves where we've gone wrong. This video made the rounds and It's in front of someone's home. Don't tell me some parent somewhere doesn't know their kid did this."
The Bay Village Police department is looking into the case, and hopefully, with a little help from Hollywood, the pranksters will face the consequences of their actions.
