“My son is an autistic boy. There was an abnormal heat when we arrived at the water park. We were standing and waiting in a line there,” the woman said.

She explained that while they were standing and waiting in the line, her “son got autistic movements of the hands.” “A guard came up and said: ‘I don’t like his behaviour.’ He said that he would not let the boy in, because normal people would feel uncomfortable to look at such a child, and he (the guard) was worried that the boy would beat anyone.”

The woman said that her family had never faced such an attitude towards her son earlier. “It was a shock for us. I consulted a lawyer, and then I went and file a complaint to the Prosecutor’s Office, because the guard acted wrong,” the woman added.

The Prosecutor’s Office launched an investigation into the incident.
