Bullying against children with disabilities, especially from adults, cannot be tolerated. Kim Castillo and her family had been eating out at the Laurenzo’s restaurant in Houston for years, and to their son with Down syndrome, it was certainly an outing to treasure. But one group of diners showed poor form by insulting the boy and his family.
Castillo’s son, Milo, is different; he has an extra chromosome, which means he has Down syndrome. It is not known why this happens, but no one is to blame. There is no cure; he has it for life. It’s a genetic condition, not a disease or an illness, and it causes intellectual disability.
