Drew Carey Offers $10,000 Reward Following Ice Bucket Challenge Prank

I saw this over the weekend and was completely discussed and glad to see celebrities stepping up to help the victim and prosecute the perpetrators. A group of teens from Bay Village High School near Cleveland, Ohio reportedly used the "Ice Bucket Challenge" to pull a prank on an autistic boy. Drew Carey, a Cleveland native brought the incident to national headlines when he offered a $10,000 reward to find the people behind it.

According to PEOPLE, the teens asked the 14-year-old to take the Ice Bucket Challenge, but instead of dumping ice on him, they used feces, urine and spit. To make matters even more horrific, they reportedly filmed the incident on his phone and posted it to Instagram.

Eventually, the news found its way to Carey, who responded on Twitter:

In a statement (quote via PEOPLE), the officials said:  "It hurts us deeply to see such a wonderful effort twisted to deliberately cause someone pain. We are supporting our Bay Village Police Department as they vigilantly work to complete their investigation in this case."

So many people have participated in this light hearted and simple task as a way to spread awareness and raise money for such a great cause, to help fight ALS. It's sickening to hear how some teens could take this to such a discussing and perverted level... IMO (Goldberg)
