Cornel Marton points to one of five bullet holes at his restaurant – fishing pond on State Highway 84 is in the reflection of the window…
Axtell, Texas – The crippled boy’s world began to close in on him when the man in the red pickup sped by, spraying high caliber pistol bullets at his father’s place of business and an inflatable castle, where children bounced next door during a birthday party..
Long gone are the days when he would fish for carefree hours in the pond outside his father’s barbecue restaurant located at 10016 E. Hwy. 84 in Axtell.
He says it creeps him out when people from the Axtell Independent School District drive by with video cameras taking pictures of him. He fears the flying lead that once terrified he and his family.
These people want he and his family gone – run out of town.
For some reason, peace officers who have investigated the drive-by shooting are reluctant to release a report of the criminally assaultive attack on the family – Case Number 18-1395 – which occurred on May 25, 2018.

The politics of hate have consigned the disabled teen to a painful and troublesome life in a wheelchair while officials of a local government taxing entity call for a public boycott of his fathers’ business.
It is a matter of some mystery to Cornel Marton, a naturalized U.S. citizen who hails from the turbulent Balkan republic of Romania, just why this prairie community waited until his two older sons, both football players at Axtell High School, graduated before they came down on he and his youngest son.
He hints at drug problems among student athletes, that his sons, who were drug free, often tested negative in repeated testing for drugs. One son refused an appointment to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, which was arranged with the help of State Senator Brian Birdwell, a retired Lt. Colonel who was seriously injured during the 9/11 attack on the Pentagon, following his enlistment in the National Guard. An intelligence specialist, he has concealed his Balkan ancestry and fluency in the Slavic dialect from Army officials, said Marton.
The central fact of the youngest son’s life is that he was born with a debilitating orthopedic defect known as spinal bifida.
The crippling abnormality of his spinal column makes it hard for him to keep his balance, even while wearing braces on both legs.
To further complicate matters, because his braces and crutches make it hard for him to open heavy swinging doors at the school, he had permanently injured his foot by kicking his way through the obstacle. The condition he suffers from diminishes his ability to feel pain in his lower extremities. The resulting stone bruise wound to his heel festered, and he was hospitalized at the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Crippled Children at Dallas while the doctors debrided the dangerously infected tissue.
Naturally, he is unable to safely put any pressure on the slowly healing wound.

Further complications could result in an amputation of his limb.
When his father made his objections known, school officials had Deputies of the McLennan County Sheriff’s Office issue criminal trespass warnings at the order of the School Superintendent.
They allege that he is rude, raises his voice, that his actions are threatening.

Principal Sunny Beseda has on occasion blocked the man from driving his car closer to the doors to the school.
But an assessment report from Bonnie Garza says, “You called the sheriff and told them that your son was ‘being held hostage by the school.’”
She alleged that Marton did not come to the appropriate place to pick his son up – at the appropriate time.
When he sent one of his sons later, school authorities would not allow him to drive the boy home because he is not on the “approved list” of persons allowed to pick him up.
Marton has been required for many months to drop his son off without coming on the property, and that causes the boy to have to navigate a rough route of about 100 yards across gravel and concrete surfaces that are just steep enough it’s hard to wheel his chair to the school’s entrances before facing the reality of opening the doors.
The final indignity is that there is no final indignity.
An attendant named Mr. Briggs is required to assist him in his bathroom chores each two hours. The man chooses to lay him on the floor of the girls’ restroom to clean him with baby wipes while the female students use the facilities.
Said Marton, “One girl told me, ‘I want to pee on his (the son’s) face.’”
Investigators of the Child Protective Services department have made inquiries more than a dozen times, based on an outcry from the community.
All that came to an end when Rhonda Johnson of the agency wrote a final report on December 4, stating, “Because the situation does not appear to involve the occurrence and/or substantial risk of abuse or negligence in which Child Protective Service has authority to intervene, we plan no further inquiries.” The state government is not recommending termination of Marton’s parental rights, as demanded by the hue and cry of the school officials and their loyal followers.

Some school officials and numerous citizens have called for a boycott of Mr. Marton’s places of business, a gun range and barbecue restaurant.
The issue at hand is that Marton was unable to get any relief from a mediation he requested as an administrative remedy.
He and his wife waited in an empty office for two and a half hours for the attorney who represents the district
“They say it was the wrong room,” he recalled.
The report written by Ms. Garza states he agreed to cancel the dispute mediation session.
He has been able to get the assistance of the Office of Civil Rights (OCR) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Through meticulous documentation of his son’s woes by social workers of the Scottish Rite Hospital and other health officials, he was able to establish the fact that his son made above average grades in classes he attended in Dallas. He ranked in the 80th and 90th percentile doing fourth grade level work in math and reading, records show; Axtell’s records show nothing but failing grades in “life skills” curriculum for mentally challenged children.
There, he attends classes with autistic and emotionally unstable kids who are instructed not in academic subjects, but in table manners and deportment issues.
At a recent celebration of fire power and explosive techniques monitored by the McLennan County Sheriff’s Office bomb squad, which was held at family’s gun range adjacent to the barbecue restaurant, Sheriff Parnell McNamara spoke with Marton’s son about his difficulties navigating his way at school.
He gave the boy his card and recommended that if he has difficulty, to call him.
An audio of a phone call the youth made to reach out to Sheriff McNamara recently reveals that one of the Sheriff’s deputies told him McNamara was busy with other matters and could not be called to the phone.

McLennan County Sheriff Parnell McNamara at Axtell Barbecue
During an ugly incident at the restaurant, a range safety officer from a competing area gun range who was dressed in the fatigue uniform of the Texas State Militia chatted with another customer about the “training requirements” of the CIA.
He had been asked to leave the firing line after he assumed a prone firing position in front of the line at the rifle range.
He declined Marton’s invitation to return to the range before leaving the premises. Marton remarked that his actions had defied “common sense” and the principles of firearm safety.
