God was there! Why else was that waitress, on duty!
The boy was being tortured by his stepfather), Timothy Wilson, (with permission of the mother), including being hung upside down with straps on ankles and neck and beaten with various objects including a broom handle and fists. Also staved. The five people who intervened were the waitress, the owner who told her to call 911, the 911 dispatcher who notified the police, and the two polices who arrived, interview the boy and sent him to the hospital. The police chief said they saved the boy’s life.
