Every Parent's Nightmare.
It only takes seconds: Imagine, you spend the morning playing with your two-year-old son. Looking at his infectious smile, enjoying his incessant curiosity, and the knowledge of his blind faith in your love make you cherish every moment you're with him.
Then, imagine leaving him alone for just the shortest of moments, letting him play by himself. And in that barest fraction of time, never conceiving it possible, your world and his are changed forever. Suddenly, there is a bloodcurdling scream from your child. Frantic, you rush to his aid, but when you get there you find that your mind can't even make sense of what you see. There in front of you is your child barely recognizable: standing, whimpering, and in shock, his face crushed and covered in blood.
That was the all-too-real hell Larry Halford and his son, Neil, entered on that fateful Wednesday morning. This is the beginning of their incredible story...
