Drew Carey Offers $10K For Reward To Find Horriffic ALS Ice Bucket Pranksters Who Duped Autistic Kid [View all]

Drew Carey is stepping up for a very good cause.

The Price is Right host and comedian has offered to donate a $10,000 reward in hopes of finding several high school students involved in a horrible ALS Ice Bucket Challenge prank.

The awful act involved a 14-year-old autistic boy who was challenged to participate in the viral movement that's meant to bring awareness to Lou Gehrig's Disease. Instead of getting splashed with a bucket of water, however, the young Ohio student allegedly had a bucket of urine, feces and spit poured over him by his high school peers.

"WTF? Just saw this. Horrendous," Carey Tweeted Friday evening. "These kids should be arrested and expelled."

He added, "If the Bay Village PD wants to start a reward fund to find who did this, contact me. I'll donate $10,000."

Seriously how can this be classified as a prank? This goes way beyond that - it's assault and public humiliation. Throw the book at these kids and then some.
