FALMOUTH, Mass. -- His parents say sensory overload made their 7-year-old son snap.

Greggorey Ball-Roemer, a student at a Cape Cod elementary school, has been accused of attacking two of his teachers on two separate occasions. The accusations landed him in juvenile court this week.

"He was restrained, he was set in isolation. He was set in this little time-out room," his mother Melissa Ball-Roemer said.

It's been a tough school year for the Falmouth first-grader, culminating in Thursday's court appearance with his parents, where it was decided that the assault and battery complaint brought against him by police would not go forward.

The question remains of what will happen to Greggorey. He has not been back to Teaticket Elementary School since Feb. 5, when police said he attacked his teachers.

"He grabbed a teacher, pulled her by her hair, pulled her down to the ground. And another one, he grabbed her in an inappropriate spot, and pulled her to the ground and punched her in the nose," his father Christopher said, recounting the allegations against his son.

"It's horrible, it's absolutely horrible. He's 7, and he has autism," his mother said.

The family is struggling with a school system they said refuses to acknowledge that their son needs a different education plan and environment.

"We told them the placement was wrong and they wouldn't say he was autistic," said Toni Saunders of the Associate Advocate Center.

The family said Greggorey just snapped from sensory overload in the classroom. His parents said he will often withdraw or throw a tantrum.

"The thing about autistic children is that they have to be set in a routine. And the routine has to be standard every day and it cannot change. Meaning that if he has to be the first one in the shower, like my son does, he has to be. If he needs that blue cup every morning, he's got to have it," said Christopher.

Now that Greggorey has a tutor, the family hopes the school system will support their next move for a new school, though it could be costly for the district.

"I think the hesitation has to do with money, I really do," said Melissa.

The school district declined to make any comment, the superintendent saying only that the district followed all of the proper protocols for such a situation.
