On October 7, 2013, Arizona was assaulted on a First Student, Inc. Special Needs School bus by his substitute one to one aide, James Caton, on his way home. Arizona is diagnosed with autism. The entire incident was covered up, although, an eyewitness saw James Caton hold Arizona down and repeatedly punch him in his face, head, chest, and back. The other aide stood and watched. The bus driver, James Miller, was found with blood on his hands, this was never investigated; First Student, Inc. said it was due to Miller biting his finger nails. As a punishment for his parents reporting the assault to legal authorities, the Barrington School Department refused to provide Arizona with alternate transportation and has denied him the right to go to school since 2013. The Governor of Rhode Island, Gina Raimondo, refuses to assist Arizona. Arizona wants to go to school. Please let Rhode Island hear your VOICES!
