Autistic boy assaulted by gang gets trip to Disneyland

A Cork charity has given an all-expenses-paid trip to Disneyland to a teenage boy with autism who was the victim of a horrific assault.

Liam Davin was on Red FM on Thursday morning and told host Neil Prendeville of his horror at discovering that a group of teenagers had force-fed his son twigs and made him expose himself.

John Looney, a volunteer with the Cork City Hospitals Children’s Club, heard the boy’s father tell how the gang uploaded footage of the assault to social media.
