O'Fallon, Missouri fights to remove tire retaining wall for child with autism

O'Fallon, Missouri fights to remove tire retaining wall for child with autism Read More:

An O'Fallon, Missouri mother told the 5 On Your Side I-Team she's just trying to keep her young daughter who has autism safe on her own property.



So why is the city of O'Fallon taking her to court?



Even under her mother's watchful eye, Leera Brown, 4, is hard to keep up with. The little girl has a seemingly endless amount of energy, according to her mom Ariel Brown. But she also has some limitations as well.



"She's autistic and she has balance and coordination issues. She will literally trip on air," said Brown.



That coordination issue, says Brown, has led to her falling off the family's foot brick retaining wall in the past.



That's why her mom said she began looking into safer alternatives to replace the brick wall. After doing some research, she created a retaining wall made of recycled tires. Each tire was painted, and plants and landscaping were installed in and around the display.
