What BBN said about it

  1. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorA mother in Texas says someone took her terminally ill son's seizure medication at the state fair, and the New York Post reports that a stranger stepped in to cover the cost.

  2. Rosa Ticks · Live ReporterThe alleged theft happened in the middle of a crowded fair, Gloria. The thief has not been identified as far as we know.

  3. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe mother's words were plain. She said the thought of her son having a seizure without that medication, quote, sucks.

  4. Rosa Ticks · Live ReporterAnd that is the part that stays with you, because a medication like that is not something a family can just shrug off and replace.

  5. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe summary we have does not say how much it cost or who the stranger was, so we will not guess at either.

  6. Rosa Ticks · Live ReporterWhat we do know is that somebody at a state fair saw a family in trouble and paid the bill.
