The case of Rutledge Deas IV is one of the sickest things I've seen in my life.

The non verbal autistic child was allegedly tasered and left unconscious in a pool of his own urine.

On June 2nd, Townsquare Media put on The Little Black Dress at Horseshoe Casino. At that event we held live and silent auctions to help raise money for the 81st Street E.C.E. Center and its programs devoted to helping children with autism. Today, we were able to present a cheque to the school.
