Parents heartbroken after group of students take their autistic son's water bottle in the locker room and PEE in it
A couple in California say they have been left devastated after a group of students took their autistic son's water bottle and urinated in it at school.
The parents, Hilda and Ricardo Lozano, said the incident with their 14-year-old son Michael occurred at Folsom High School, and that the administrators have not handled it in a satisfactory manner.
The two say Michael was in gym class and getting changed in the locker room when someone took his water bottle.
'He said he smelled it ... and it smelled bad and then he poured it out in the drain holes inside of the gym so the water goes in, and it was yellow and foamy,' Mrs Lozano told Fox 40.
Mr and Mrs Lozano were actually at the school for a meeting about their son's autism when Michael called them and told them what happened.
Mrs Lozano told her son to bring the bottle straight to the office where they were having their meeting.
Devastated: Hilda Lozano says the officials at Folsom High School have not properly handled the way her autistic son was treated by other students in the locker room
However, she says Vice Principal Annie Conover stopped Michael before he got to the office.
'Apparently the school's vice principal took the bottle from him, poured out the urine and then washed the bottle with soap and water and then sent him to me,' she told Fox.
Then, after the meeting, Mrs Lozano could not find the principal. A school official told her that all the principals was in a meeting together and were not available.
'Their attitude was ''we'll get around to it when we get to it'',' Mr Lozano said.
'When we get out of our meetings and do stuff, then we'll address your concerns.
'That's the perception we got, which I'm pretty sure if they had children in their school and they were special needs and someone had urinated in their kids' water bottle, they would think it's an urgent concern.'
The incident occurred on Monday at Folsom High School in California and is now under investigation, according to officials
Daniel Thigpen with the Folsom Cordova Unified School District, told FOX40 in a statement that the incident was under investigation.
'In general, I can tell you that our schools take seriously such allegations; complaints such as these will be investigated fully, and appropriate action will be taken in any case where a student has been found to bully or harm another child.
'In this case, my understanding is that administration is aware of the allegation, has met with the parent who authored this social media post, and has launched an investigation.
'As in all investigations involving potential student discipline, I cannot discuss specific details in order to protect the privacy of students involved.'
