Community, local police rally to save boy with autism's birthday after guests don't show up
We've all been there on the day of a big party: Amid all the excitement,
we can’t
help but fear that the doorbell won’t ring. That feeling is why one 6-year-old
Florida boy’s story is resonating across the globe.
Glenn Buratti’s whole class was invited to his birthday party on February 8 in
St. Cloud, Fla., but not one of the 16 kids showed up.
After his mom, Ashlee, turned to a closed group on Facebook to vent about the
devastating day for her son, who has autism, local parents and kids started
coming over with presents and cards to save his birthday—followed by a
friendly visit from local deputies and firemen a few days later.
“It was probably the best gift he could have gotten,” she told TODAY.com.
“He was really amazed to see people come together for him.”
After hearing about Glenn's story through social media, about three or four
deputies came by as well, and brought gifts paid for out of their own pockets.
But, as the saying goes, no good deed goes unpunished, and the news has
brought out some grumblings about the use of taxpayer dollars. “Deputies
do good things every day. This one just happened to make the news more
than the others—for good reason,” says Twis Lizasuain, public and media
relations director for the Osceola County Sherriff’s Office, pointing out that
community outreach is a part of a law officer’s job.
Yes, the deputies were on duty, but they only stopped by briefly during their
rounds, she clarified, adding that the story has grown and grown to include
exaggerations that are not true.
“They stopped by to say hello, because they heard he is such a big fan of
public safety and law enforcement. In general, deputies have big hearts—they
thought about their own kids and wanted to make this boy happy because it
was such a sad situation.”
Unfortunately, this birthday party scenario is a familiar one for children who
are autistic, says Glenn’s mother, who has been hearing from fellow parents
of children with atu all across the world about the anxiety that birthdays bring
up.
“My only advice is, don’t give up,” she says. “Don’t automatically assume
people will ignore them or push them away. Give people the benefit of a
doubt.”
