Arlington Family Evicted Over 'Loud' Child With Disabilities



A family of four in Arlington, Virginia, is being evicted from their apartment because they say the building's management company told them their son, who has disabilities, is too loud.

The Diaz family was told they need to vacate their home by the new year -- and they worry they'll have to go to a shelter. They say the property manager of Oakland Apartments on Columbia Pike complained that 10-year-old Elder Diaz disturbs her by shouting and singing in the apartment above hers.

Elder was severely beaten by a daycare provider when he was just 18 months old, parents Deysi and Fransisco Diaz said. The attack left him with developmental disabilities, and he has seizures. But he's a happy child.
