Brainerd Dispatch — A sweet conclusion to a sour beginning. That’s how a group of Brainerd women are looking at the end result of a story that started out frustrating and heartbreaking for one area mom. Irene Rivera took to Facebook to vent after her 10-year-old son, Andrew, was the recent target of bus stop bullies. While waiting for the bus one day, Andrew was taken advantage of by older students, who stole some of the candy he was supposed to sell for a fundraiser at Forestview Middle School. Rivera said her son is autistic and likely didn’t understand what was happening at the time.
