An autistic Harlem boy was detained by the NYPD and subjected to a mental evaluation after he chose the 1989 dark comedy “Heathers” for a school assignment — and told a teacher he identified with the murderous main character, according to a lawsuit.
No one told the cops that Terrance was autistic and in a special education setting, said his dad, who described the boy as “15, but he’s really more like 5.” David O’Connor shows a picture of his son, Terrance, 15, who was allegedly subjected to a mental evaluation after picking the dark comedy “Heathers” for a class assignment.“If you see this kid, he will not hurt a bug. He is the sweetest kid in the world,” the elder O’Connor told The Post. “They never notified the police that my son was a special needs student. I wasn’t even allowed to say goodbye with my son. They kept him, no attorney, no nothing they were back there talking to him.
