They go to sleep only in the hope that they will see us the next day. And when we are out of their sight for a moment, they most probably freak out. When it comes to parenting, moms are the one who cares the most. Mothers are possessive about their children as they are the ones who carried us in their womb for nine months and look after us until we reach a certain age. Thus, an emotional bond between a mother and her children is very strong.

I bet you can’t go out of your home without telling your mother where are you going. You can imagine what will be the look on her face when you are gone for hours without informing her. She will be freaked and angry at the same time. She will not go to sleep until you are asleep, she is always praying for our wellness.

It is very scary especially for a mom as she knows that her little man is not alone. William was diagnosed with autism and this made Chelsea even more worried as she knows that her son will not shout for help even if he wants to.

The search became desperate and the second footprints were their only clue to finding William. No matter what the authorities did, the number of k9 units they employed, the ATV teams and the wildlife and fisheries agents weren’t able to find William.
