An 8-year-old special needs child is facing two felony counts after running away from his learning center. Edward Hart has documented “anger issues” according to his stepfather, Robert Bluhm. After running away from the Hillside Learning and Behavior Center in Allegan, Michigan, the little boy was found at a nearby party store by school staffers. Hillside Learning and Behavior Center staffers called the local police department to send a unit to the party store and drive the special needs boy back to school. After being placed in the back of the police cruiser, Edward Hart allegedly cursed at the Allegan police officer and “verbally assaulted” him. The 8-year-old special needs child is also accused of breaking a camera housed inside the police cruiser. Hart now faces two felony charges for resisting and obstructing and for the destruction of police property. (via Special Needs Child Arrested On Two Felony Charges)
