Dad furious after video shows staffer dragging son by genitals at NYC-funded autism center

A case worker at a Dutchess County center for autistic students grabbed a 19-year-old from Queens by his genitals and squeezed them in his grip while dragging the teen as he howled in agony, horrifying video shows.

Garnet Collins, 50, is charged with brutalizing the youth at the publicly-funded boarding school run by the private Anderson Center for Autism in upstate Staatsburg, about 10 miles north of Poughkeepsie.

Sparking even more outrage, the Anderson Center swiftly fired the whistleblower who recorded the smoking-gun video and then alerted the teen’s parents.
