Creative Father Makes Halloween Special for Son in Wheelchair

A creative father makes Halloween special for his son in a wheelchair and goes viral.
Fox 25 in Oklahoma City posted a picture on our Facebook page of a young boy whose father dressed his son like a construction worker and turned his wheelchair into a front end loader.
The boy sits proudly in the seat of his wheelchair donning a yellow hard hat with a huge smile, showing how proud he is of his costume.
This costume allows his son to be able to trick or treat just like everyone else without the scrutiny that comes with his disability.
We aren't sure where the photo was taken but to date it has more than 7,000 comments, 17,000 shares, 390,000 likes, and over 2.9 million views.Creative Father Makes Halloween Special for Son in Wheelchair

In tornado's wake, worried parents seek out kids
May 21, 2013 08:28 GMT

By NOMAAN MERCHANT Associated Press

MOORE, Okla. (AP) -- Parents and guardians of children whose elementary schools were damaged in the deadly tornado that ripped through the Oklahoma City area are hoping for happy reunions.

At least 20 children are among the more than 50 reported dead so far in Moore, an Oklahoma City suburb ravaged Monday afternoon by a tornado with winds up to 200 mph. Officials said early Tuesday the death toll could rise by as many as 40.

Many parents seeking their children gathered at a suburban church, listening intently as someone with a bullhorn called out the names of children who were being dropped off. For many families, the ordeal ended in tears of joy. Others were left to wait in the darkness, hoping for good news while fearing the worst.
