Lesson learned
When it was all said and done, the family recovered from this episode and came back stronger than ever. Sam learned what it meant to make sacrifices for your family and Sam learned how to handle strangers. On top of that, it brought them all closer together and scared them straight.
We hope that no one has to go through something like this in their lives. The very thought of losing a child to someone who is not well mentally outside on the street is a terrifying image. One can only hope that we all do enough as parents to make sure those things never happen.
