Stories About Children Most-Read in March

CHICAGO, IL (April 2, 2014) — A story about the Richland, Michigan, mother who asked people to “like” her son on Facebook as a surprise for him was the most-read story for the second month in a row. Colin has a disorder similar to Asperger’s and had told his mother that no one would come to his birthday party. More than 2.2 million people “liked” the page and the number continues to grow.

A story about another child—one who wandered into a church and was turned over to police when his parents couldn’t be found—also was one of the most popular stories. Church members took care of the boy until police arrived.
