A 16-year-old boy with autism has been taken to hospital after he was allegedly found chained up in his family's Blacktown home in western Sydney. 

Channel 9 reported that the 16-year-old teenager had been taken to Westmead Hospital after he'd been chained up in his family's Blacktown home. His mother was reportedly not in the house at the time and the boy was found by his carer.

Paramedics, firefighters and police removed the teenager from the home. He was not injured but was now being checked over by doctors at the hospital as a precaution.

A police spokesman confirmed that at about 12.30pm the boy’s 38-year-old mother arrived at the address. She was arrested and taken to Blacktown Police Station where she is assisting the investigation.

The Daily Telegraph reports that a 79-year-old neighbour Anna Marchione said it is not the first time that the teenage autistic boy has been in trouble.

'The little boy is not well,' she said. “He jumped the gate one day and ran around the back naked, with no clothes on, even in the street some times, that’s what I see.

'People like us, we don’t know them, we would like to help but we don’t know how.

'What do you if you have a son like that? You look after him. Many times we tell her, look after that boy.'

It was also reported that the family were from an African country with five or six children also living in the house, while their father no longer lived with them.

‘Police were called to a home in Blacktown at noon today following reports for the concern for the welfare of a teenage boy,' the police spokesman told Daily Mail Australia.

'The boy has been taken to hospital as a precaution as inquiries continue. Officers from Blacktown will investigate all circumstances surrounding the incident.

'This will include speaking to the boy’s mother and other relevant agencies.’

As the boy was being taken away a woman dressed in brown, who is thought to have been a family member, was seen speaking to police. At one stage the shocked woman sat on the grass near the house as police spoke to her.

She was later lead away by officers as police interviewed others in the area and worried neighbours looked on.

This has nothing to do with following the Qu'ran. This is about a desperate mother who used extreme tactics to control a difficult child.

It's far from an isolated case.

What she is sure to get is a free pass to all and every support service which may be difficult if not impossible for Australian-born citizens to access.
Just as she will get priority access to all health & hospital care ahead of locals.

That's the reality of multiculti Australia in the 21st century.
