Justice for Riley, the Autistic child abused by a daycare employee caught on video.

The Issue

On August 14, 2020 Riley was hit and thrown on the floor twice by Tiana D. McElveen.  The incident was caught on video and has made headlines across our nation and internationally.  Since Mrs. McElveen has no criminal history she is eligible and has applied for the Pretrial Intervention Program that is mandated by the State of South Carolina.  WHAT IS PRETRIAL
INTERVENTION?  Pretrial Intervention (PTI) is just as the name implies. It is an intervention into a case before it goes to court. This system allows the defendant avoid conviction.  Upon successful completion of the solicitor's requirements, the appropriate court is notified and the CHARGES AGAINST Ms.McElveen ARE DISMISSED. At that time, Ms. McElveen is eligible under the S.C. Code of Laws 17-1-40, to clear her arrest record as if she was never arrested or charged.

In other words, she will never spend a night in jail, will not have a felony charge on her record and her life will go on as if she never harmed any child, let alone an autistic child and SHE WILL BE ALLOWED TO WORK WITH CHILDREN AGAIN!!!  Please show your support for Riley so Ms. McElveen is not allowed to enter the Pretrial Intervention program!  We need justice for Riley.  #Rileymatters #justiceforRiley #heismorethanautistic #autism #stoptheabuse #saveourchildren  #asd #unite #disabiltyjustice #humanjustice
