I still maintain the fat man lied. This boy could have been with his family. Thank God his mother is a reasonable loving mother who said she just wants to meet him and make sure he is well, not to ruin his life. Mirofora is a brave admirable woman.
The good thing that has come out of it is that it shows humanity on part of the Turkish man who took him under his wing. May be an angel on earth for this young boy. None of could ever know what and how he felt or feeling now.
