Rogan O’Hanley went on his Instagram today and posted a video of a 17 year old autistic child singing a song advocating for Covid safety, and he mocked this child for this performance. I went to HS with him, so I know this child personally. (1/*)

These were the comments under this post openly mocking this boy, and myself and several of my friends from our community came to his defense. He has no way to defend himself, so the community and his peers have done so (2/*)

(Quick correction, Handley, not Hanley) I have since been blocked from commenting, and his account is now private. He has been deleting comments under the post, and has not issued an apology to the child he was targeting (3/*)

Now I am blocked and his account is private, there is no way I or others will see an apology from him unless you follow him.
This boy was just advocating for Covid safety with a song he wrote and performed for television, and these cowards feel so comfortable to bully him (4/*)

He is an intelligent, kind, funny kid who does good for his community and school, and this artwork of his hangs from the Dome Arena, a vaccination site. He is only advocating for a healthy community, and it takes a lot to share your art and talent with the state and nation, (5/*)

and to see grown adults mocking him for his amazing performance is disheartening to say the least. In HS chorus, he would lead the group, keep his peers on track and entertain all of us with his songs and artwork. He is a runner, an artist, and a friend. (6/*)

He is more intelligent and compassionate than any adult, and knowing Zach, he would stand up for himself in this situation. However, he can’t defend himself right now, so his friends and community have showed up and defended him. Rogan instead of taking responsibility, (7/*)
