Oh, this little boy holed up in the bunker in Alabama has been on my heart and in my prayers this past week. Praise God he is back safely with his parents. I don’t know what details will come out in the days to come, but I am thankful the man spared the life of this precious child. Please pray for the families.
Blessings,
Alyson

I’m wondering why he chose this particular child. Such a terrible experience for him.
My understanding is he grabbed the nearest child to him when the driver refused to turn over the two children the man demanded. The driver is such a hero, giving his life to preserve the lives of the children in his care.
