Three Ohio teens charged in a cruel prank that involved dumping a bucket of urine, tobacco and spit on an autistic classmate have admitted to charges in juvenile court.
The suburban Cleveland teens apologized during a court hearing Thursday. Punishment will occur after the court's probation department prepares a presentencing report. Two other teens involved in the prank were accepted into a diversion program and were not in court.
The 15-year-old autistic teen thought he was participating in the ice bucket challenge for charity when the boys dumped the bucket on him in August. All the teens live in Bay Village.
The prank went viral after the autistic teen's mother found a video of it on his cellphone and allowed media outlets to make it public.
