“Tommy, that’s a lovely name,” the nurse responded warmly. “We want to make sure you’re okay. Is there anyone we can call? Someone who takes care of you?” Tommy hesitated, then shook his head. “No one,” he whispered, confirming the nurse’s growing fears. With no immediate answers about his family or guardians, the hospital staff…
In the days that followed, Tommy’s story began to unfold. It turned out that he had been living in a foster home, where he often felt invisible and unloved, leading him to swallow objects as a misguided cry for help.
