After doing some searching on Google, I found a few sites about Hopkin Green Frog. The most informative site was wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hopkin_Green_Frog
Here I learned that Hopkin Green frog was a toy frog that belonged to a 16 year old autistic boy name Terry. He got the toy back in September 2004 from a McDonald's Happy Meal. After loosing the toy, Terry made "lost" posters and hung them around his neighborhood. His posters were scanned and then was found on many Internet sources. A web site known as Lostfrog.org was created where information and pictures about this story could be found. Being a special ed teacher, I hope that people weren't making fun of Terry. Unfortunately, I'm sure some people who do not understand autism, did make fun of him.
