Drew Carey is standing up against bullies.
The comedian-host is offering a $10,000 reward for anyone who can help police find the pranksters involved in dumping a bucket of urine and feces on a 14-year old autistic boy in Ohio. The said prank was disguised as part of the Ice Bucket Challenge to bring awareness to ALS.

Carey, a Cleveland native, took to Twitter on Saturday to post ""WTF? Just saw this. Horrendous. These kids should be arrested and expelled. If the Bay Village PD wants to start a reward fund to find who did this, contact me. I'll donate $10,000."
The autistic teen's mother had discovered the video of the prank, which was believed to have happened off-campus, after school hours.
Video clip of the prank was also uploaded and shared on Instagram.
After the video was discovered, Bay Village High School, the educational institution the teen attends, held a vigil for the special-needs boy on Friday before a football game. Hundreds of people attended the vigil to support the victim.
The said school also sent a letter to students and parents saying that they condemn the actions of the pranksters and that the incident is not representative of the sentiments of the school and its students regarding ALS or autism.
Bay Village Police Chief Mark Spaetzel referred to the prank as "heinous" and stated that the teens responsible for the prank will be charged.
The Bay Village School District is also set to pursue disciplinary actions on any student who was part of the incident.
Carey currently hosts the well-loved game show "The Price is Right" and was the star of the now-defunct comedy series "The Drew Carey Show".
Carey has been all too familiar with bullying, especiall since Carey has had to battle with his weight most of his life. In one episode of "The Drew Carey Show", the comedian featured a story about his encounter with his former high school bully, Simon Tate, played by actor Norm MacDonald.
