A priest in Bertha, Minn. has slapped the parents of a 13-year-old with autism with a restraining order, banning them from bringing their child to the church. The reason given for the action? Adam Race--who is over 6 feet tall and over 225 pounds--is said to be a danger to other parishioners at St. Joseph's. Adam's parents have ignored the restraining order and have continued to attend services at St. Joseph's. The Races have been cited by police and must appear in court on monday (????) for violating the order.
