MARSHFIELD — Less than 24 hours after an 11-year-old Marshfield boy’s only way of communicating with the world was stolen from him as he played at a local playground, neighbors have raised enough money to replace it and police have caught the man suspected of taking it.
Aidan Glynn, who lives in Marshfield with his parents and two brothers, has a nonverbal form of autism and uses an iPad with a special software to tell his family what he wants to do, eat or say. He was at the Martinson school playground with Kim Bouressa, a close family friend of the Glynn’s, about 5 p.m. Wednesday when the iPad was stolen.
Bouressa reported the theft to police that night, then took to Facebook to ask Marshfield residents to keep an eye out, and started a GoFundMe to replace the device. The fundraising campaign quickly raised the $650 needed to buy a new iPad.
