He was found in a deep ravine in the forest by two hikers.
When rescuers arrived they didn't find a normal scared young boy but a aggressive wild boy.
Crouching down baring his teeth at the rescuers. Clawing at anyone who dared get within reaching distance.
The rescuers finally had to shoot a low dosage tranquilizer dart into the boys body.
When the drugs that were released into the boys bloodstream took effect. He fell over and passed out.
Checking the boy they realized that he had recently broken his leg. They had to set it with a splint for his long journey back out of the forest.
The boy was strapped into the rescuers stretcher for his safety as well as those helping him.
Not noticed by the rescuers.
Three large wolves watched from a distance as this boy was taken away.
There was national coverage from the press and news agencies about finding this wild boy.
Over time the the coverage diminished and the Story was soon old news.
A Children's Doctor and Child Psychologist, Dr. Bronso was appointed to care for the young boy.
He had literally Iived with the boy for nearly three months. He was making some small break throughs. The boy began to slowly trust this man who had been caring for him.
He hadn't talked yet but would draw pictures using a pad, pencils and crayons.
Dr. Bronso's wife stopped by the hospital to bring her husband a change of clothes. As she entered the office and started to collect her husband's clothes. She noticed pictures of the boy from the newspaper and news broadcasts.
She picked up the folder and started looking at the different photos of the boy. In the three months since he's been found, He had changed from an aggressive wild looking boy into a very good looking boy.
Mary had fell in love with this boy just from his pictures. David walked in just as Mary was about to leave.
I've picked up your clothes and dropped off more clean ones for you.
The girls will be coming home this weekend for a visit.
Jimmy and Lee miss you very much and send you their love.
Lee has started wetting his bed so I have him wearing diapers now at night. Hes been crying himself to sleep almost everynight since you've been away.
I should be able to come home this weekend but I need to ask you a question Mary.
Yes dear what do you want to ask me.
Honey I was wondering if you would mine if we apply to become Foster Parent's. So we can take this boy home and give him the love that he needs.
After hearing what her husband had asked. Mary with tears in her eyes said nothing would make me happier then to love this child.
So the first thing they had to do was get it cleared with the Doctors Pediatric Board. They voted and fully backed the Doctor and his wife.
The paperwork was approved within a week and the boy would be going to his new home the next night if Doctor Bronso's family agreed to have him.
A lady came in and told the boy that Dr. Bronso and his family were going to become his foster family.
He didn't know what to think about what the lady had just told him.
Dr. Bronso went home that afternoon.
They had a family meeting that night.
Nancy and Megan had driven home early to be at this family meeting.
Everyone was seated when Mr. Bronso bought the family meeting to order. Okay everyone, your mother and I have become Certified Foster Parent's.
Why Dad, Jimmy asked.
Well everyone, you know how I've raised you to be kind and love your brothers and sisters. As well as to help out others less fortunate when the opportunity arises. Yes Dad, the boys and girls said except Nicky who still calls Mr. and Mrs. Bronso daddy and mommy.
I know you all remember hearing about the young boy who was found by hikers just 2 miles from the Canadian border about ten miles from here at Voyageurs National Park.
Yes we remember hearing that on the news a few months ago. We even talked about it in school.
Well nobody knows who he is or where he's from but I've been put in charge of his care by the Board of Pediatrics.
Since I have a PHD in both children's psychology as well as being a pediatric doctor and surgeon. The State Board has asked me to care for the boy.
But I told the Board that I would need to asked my family first. To see if they were on board with me on caring for him.
Your mother and I have already discussed this between us and have agreed to take him in but only if we have everyone's support.
What's he like Daddy, Nicky asked.
Well sweetie, this may come as a surprise to you but he reminds me of you.
He has Blond Hair and Blue eyes. Weighs about 90 lbs. Is 4' 9" tall. Seems to be of good weight and in fair physical condition. He doesn't talk but will whimper and whine as well as growl.
I have come to the conclusion that he had lived in the wild most of his life among the animals of the area. It's also possible that they care for him.
He must wear diapers as he can't hold his pee but has learned to poop in a toilet.
Poop, Nicky giggled.
He sounds dangerous dad, where would he sleep? Jimmy asked.
He will sleep in the spare room in the basement for now. Until we can get the guess bedroom fixed up for him. Is he still wild daddy, Nicky asked.
Yes he is everyone, I won't lie to any of you. If he ever poses a threat, then I'll be forced to have him admitted to the Children's Psychiatric Hospital.
Megan and Nancy had been sitting there listening quietly. When they finally spoke up.
Father, mom has been informing us about you two bringing home this boy to become apart of our family. We have both talked it over and we vote to bring him home.
We have also put in for a leave from school to help care for him as well.
Nancy, Megan we appreciate your offer to delay your scholarship program to help out. But the answers is no. You two will remain in school but will help out on your breaks and vacation times. Their dad said.
No mother needs our help.
Mom tell him, they both said.
Dears, I must agree with your father on this. Your schooling is of the utmost importance.
Don't worry you'll get to meet your little brother before you girls go back to school.
But were leaving Sunday morning.
Yes and I'm bringing him home tonight. He seems to react better at night then during the daylight hours.
How old is Dad, Lee asked.
From his xrays and bone development as well as him still having some of his second set of teeth to still come in. We put his age at either 10 or 11 years old.
Will he be going to school daddy, Nicky asked.
At this time no son. He will be home schooled. But maybe in time he will be able to go.
Well I'm all for having a little brother, Nicky said.
That leaves it up to the two of you.
Lee asked, what would my responsibilities be? Would I have to change his diapers? Would having him here take away from me playing baseball? Would I have to also watch him?
Would that bother you, if you had to do any or all of those things?
Well you taught us to be honest and to speak our minds. So yes it would bother me. If his moving in here disrupts my Baseball Playing.
Jimmy spoke up next. Well I'm all in. It seems that this boy is in need of a family and lots of love. Then Jimmy turned to Lee. You don't have to worry about watching after our new brother or changing his diaper either, cause I'll make sure that you never have to do any of that for him. So you can concentrate on your Baseball Career. I can't believe how selfish your being.
Well Lee, it's your decision to make. Does he come home or not.
Will you all stop staring at me, Lee said.
Ok, ok he can come stay with us.
Well I'm going now to pick him up. Dad can you drop me off then. I have pitcher's practise with the coach today.
Sure son grab your stuff and let's go but make sure your home before 9pm.
I will dad.
Nicky in just his diapers and tee shirt walked out to the fence in the back yard to wait for his father to return with his new little brother.
He had left his jacket up in his tree fort earlier in the day, so he went to get it and put it on.
A van had pulled up, just on the other side of the fence when Nicky came walking back carrying his jacket.
Coming up behind Nicky, a cloth was quickly pressed over the boys mouth and nose soon rendering him unconscious.
Dr. Bronso's phone started going off. Recognizing the number on caller ID, Dr. Bronso answered the phone.
Mr Bronso got a frantic call from his wife.
We've looked everywhere, Lee isn't anywhere to be found.
Wife his exceptional hearing, the boy heard the distress in the ladies voice on the phone.
Did you call the police, honey?
Yes they are sending some deputies out.
Honey I'm on my way back home now. Just about to get Mattie buckled in.
Mattie, Mary said.
Yes I'll explain later on after we locate Nicky.
As they got into the Land Rover and started driving down the road.
Mr. Bronso told Mattie that your brother and his young son Nicky had gone missing. And that when we get back home, it may be a little hectic but know that we love you. We just need to find Nicky first. Then we will get you settled in.
Dr. Bronso arrived home to see three police cars already outside his ranch style home. A helicopter was heard flying off in the distance.
Mattie seeing all this going on crawled into the back seat and got onto the floor.
Everyone was out searching for Nicky, when Mary came out to the Land Rover. Calling out Mattie's name, Mary noticed movement behind the back seat.
Opening the back hatch, what Mary saw made her heart break.
Curled up on the floor in just a thick diaper and tee shirt was the boy Mary had seen in the photos. His eyes showed that he was scared.
Honey my name is Mary. I'm Dr. Bronso wife. I'm want you to come with me. This is Nicky's favorite blanket that he always sleeps with. I'm going to wrap you up in it and carry you inside through the back door to the house.
It may be loud for a little bit but soon it will quiet down.
Mary slowly took the blanket and wrapped it around Mattie's body. Picking him up, Mary covered his head blocking out the light and some of the noises.
As Mary was carrying Mattie, he wrapped his arms around her neck and squeezed. Hugging Mary like she had never been hugged before.
Megan and Nancy were down in the basement and opened the door for their mother who walked in carrying the boy.
Once inside Mary went to lay the boy down but he wouldn't let go of her neck.
So Mary laid down with Mattie who clung to her like his life depended on it.
Mattie started to relax and loosen his grip as he started to feel safe in this ladies arms.
Is that our new brother Megan and Nancy asked. Peeking over Mary to look in the directions that Mattie heard the voices.
He saw two girls that looked like younger versions of Mary.
As they slowly approached the couch and sat down. They introduced themselves to the boy.
As they both reached out to touch the boy.
Mattie let out a low growling sound.
It's ok Mattie, they are your sisters.
Getting up on his hands and knees, Mattie crawled over and rubbed his head up against Megan and Nancy slightly whimpering as they petted his head.
Dr. Bronso came downstairs carrying a jacket.
Honey they found Lee's jacket over by the road in the back. It's possible he may have been picked up by someone.
Mary reached out and grabbed the jacket bringing it to her chest as tears began to roll down her face.
Mattie crawled back over to Mary and started sniffing the scent from the jacket. Mattie shoved his face into the jacket and then raised his head up into the air sniffing in every direction. When he caught the scent he was searching for.
Mattie took off running up the stairs and burst opened the door from the basement. Running into the kitchen he again raised his head up sniffing the air.
Jimmy had only caught a glimpse of the new kid as he run into the kitchen. So he followed him and saw that he was wearing a thick diaper and tee shirt.
He thought he was acting kind of strange the way he was sniffing the air.
Catching the scent again Mattie ran over to the door but for some reason he couldn't get the door opened.
Jimmy seeing the boy in distress walked over to him.
Now at the door, Jimmy turned the latch and unlocked the door. Then he opened it up. Just as he did, the boy ran out the door to the side of the house toward the back.
Jimmy wondering where he was going in such a hurry, grabbed his phone and followed the boy outside.
Mattie had reached the back of the yard where he momentarily lost the scent.
Running up to the boy. Jimmy told him I'm here to help you, brother.
Mattie looked at the boy who just called him brother and made a kind of bark in response.
Mattie went running back and forth along the fence until he caught the scent once again.
Stepping back about five steps Mattie charged the fence and jumped over the four feet clearing the top by a foot easily.
Jimmy watching his new brother jump over the fence so easily had amazed him.
Not wanting to loss sight of the sprinting boy, Jimmy climbed over the fence and gave chase. He was having trouble keeping up with this boy as he was slowly pulling away from him.
Jimmy called out to him, asking him to slow down a little.
Mattie heard his brother yelling getting further away from him. So he slowed down when he got to a turn off trIal and waited for his brother to catch up.
Jimmy saw his new brother sitting at the cross path the boys would take when going to the lake house.
When Jimmy finally caught up to his brother, he asked him where are you going.
Howling, Mattie took off again.
Jimmy catching his second wind followed his brother the best he could.
Jimmy's phone began to ring.
He answered it on the second ring.
Where the heck are you at Jimmy. We can't find Mattie anywhere.
Whose Mattie, Jimmy asked.
That's your new little brothers name.
Great where heading towards the lake house.
What are you two doing over there, his dad asked.
I don't know how Mattie's doing it but I think he's tracking Lee just like a dog would do.
Ok son I'll tell the searchers to head that way. Please son don't do anything stupid to get yourself hurt.
Ok dad we'll try, Jimmy said
Mattie came to the opened gate that had a busted chain hanging from it. Mattie stopped to wait for his brother.
Dads sending the searchers this way and told us to be safe.
Just then Mattie and Jimmy heard Nicky cry out in pain.
Jimmy looking at his brother Mattie. Said, what are you waiting for Mattie? Go get our brother Nicky. When Mattie heard Nicky cry out again. He took off to go get him.
Jimmy got on his phone again and called his dad to tell him they found where Nicky is at.
Are you two boys safe.
I'm sorry dad but Mattie is just to fast for me to keep up with him.
Just then a crash was heard in the back ground.
A man could be heard screaming get off of me.
Jimmy heard screaming but not from Nicky. It had to be from the man that had taken Nicky.
Then three gun shots were heard just as the police arrived on the scene.
Rushing up the steps. The scene that played out before the eyes of the police was gruesome.
Lying on the floor in the corner was Nicky. Who had an injured Mattie curled up next to him.
A puddle of blood was starting to form under the boys as Dr. Bronso came running in.
But off to the side was the man that had taken Nicky.
At first they had trouble identifying him. But when they saw his rings and chain. They knew this was the serial rapist that prayed on young boys. Mattie had been shot but the bullets went fully through his bodies.
Dr Bronso with the help of the EMS Techs and the Ambulance were able to stop the boys bleeding and get both of them transported to Dr Bronso's clinic that was attached to his house.
With both boys now out of danger and safe. They moved them across the hall and put them in fresh diapers.
To be able to keep a close eye on the boys. They were put together in a king size bed in one of the clinics recovery rooms.
Soon the boys were asleep.
Lee had just been dropped off by his baseball coach who had been giving the pitcher's extra training for the upcoming season.
Not knowing what had happened earlier that evening.
Lee said to Jimmy. I hope you keep your word and don't ask me to change the babies diapers.
Wham, down went Lee to the ground.
If you ever say another bad thing about Nicky or Mattie, I'll never talk to you again, Lee.
Jimmy stormed out of the room just as his mom entered.
What happened to your eye it looks bruised.
Jimmy just slugged me after I made a diapers changing remark.
Well honey I'm sorry that happened to you but after the night we had. I can't blame Jimmy for what he did to you.
Your taking his side.
Just then Lee's dad came in to the house. Lee noticed that his dad had blood on his shirt.
Dad way do you have blood on your shirt, Lee asked.
Your brother Nicky was taken and somehow Mattie tracked him down. Nicky got beat up and Mattie got shot when he rescued Nicky.
When Lee heard this he needed to know if Nicky going to be okay.
Yes with time he should heal.
Then his father ask Lee. Aren't you concerned about your other brother, Mattie.
Oh yea how is the diaper boy doing?
Dr. Bronso was also upset with that remark from Lee but politely let Hon know that time will tell.
That's great dad, I'm all sweaty and tired, so I'm heading up to my room to shower and get ready for bed.
Don't worry about dinner as coach fed us all. It was the next morning when Jimmy came into boys clinic room that they shared and began changing both boys diapers.
Turning around to see his brother Lee standing there. Jimmy informed him that he already changed both his brothers very wet diapers.
You better get going before your late for practise. Don't want you to miss out on your Baseball Career, Jimmy said.
Mattie opened his eyes as he felt someone removing his very wet diaper.
It was that boy from yesterday that called him brother. Jimmy I think his name is. He looked to the right and there besides him was the boy he saved. Nicky yes that was his name. They seemed to be a very nice family.
There was Mr. Bronso, the father of the family of 5. He was 42 years old, 6' 2" tall, Brown hair and eyes and in very good shape. A Doctor of sorts.
Mrs. Bronso the mother was 40 years old, 5' 6" tall, Black hair and green eyes and had a nice figure. She was very sweet to him last night.
Then there was the two older sisters Nancy and Megan who had to leave to go back to college in the neighboring state of Wisconsin.
In order of age. Next was Jimmy 16 years old, Brown hair and eyes, 5' 10" tall, 165lbs. He was the one who called Jim brother and helped save Nicky.
Lee was 14 years old, Brown hair and eyes, 145 lbs He hadn't met him yet as he was told he was at baseball practise
Last was Nicky, 11 years old Blond Hair and Blue eyes, 4' 10" tall, 100 lbs. He smelled wonderful. He had saved him last night from that mean man. But their was something about Nicky he just couldn't figure out yet. He knew that he needed to protect him.
Dr. Bronso explained that Nicky had been adopted by the Bronso family at the age of 2 years old when his mom and dad had been in a very bad boating accident that ended both of their lives.
Mr. and Mrs. Bronso were best friends with Nicky's parents and also the boys God Parent's.
Laying their with bandages on most of his body, Mattie snuggled up closer to Nicky the boy he was drawn to.
Nicky feeling someone snuggled up behind him. Then he remembered it was his new little brother. I think dad called him, Mattie.
He had saved me from that mean man.
Oh no, Mattie was shot while he attacked the man. Was he going to be alright?
