4-year-old's prosthetic leg stolen at beach, father asks for help
#1
Sad 
Who in the %$#@* steals a child's prosthetic leg??  I swear this world has gone totally insane  tinyshouting


Quote:The father of a 4-year-old boy is asking for his son's prosthetic leg to be returned after someone stole it from a California beach over the weekend.

According to the Orange County Register, Frank Brenes and his family were enjoying the tide pools at Crystal Cove State Beach when they realized their valuables were swiped - including their son's "Star Wars" -decorated leg.

His mother Amanda McFarland told the OC Register, "it feels like someone took a piece of your child."

The Brenes family told the paper 4-year-old Liam "was born with a rare condition in which his right leg was missing the fibula, the smaller bone." He was also missing two fingers, and others were webbed. His family said he had his leg amputated when he was one-year-old.

In a Facebook post, Frank wrote "my four year old son is now without his leg because of these people. He is having a great attitude about it but I am crushed."

According to KABC, "Shark Tank" star Robert Herjavec has offered to help buy a new leg for Liam, and work with Disney to arrange a VIP tour of Disneyland.

You're either part of the solution or part of the problem. There is NO middle ground.
