Good news: the Bay Village police have begun investigating the awful teenagers who poured feces and bodily fluids on their autistic classmate. Bad news: two awful teenagers still poured feces and bodily fluids on their autistic classmate.

Celebrities and people across the country have reached out to to Valore to share support of the boy, with some offering money and gifts.
