Boy Behind Wall
Before being taken into a Franklin County Sheriff's squad car Tuesday Sept. 8, 2009 , Shannon Wilfong, 30, responds to a reporter's question about her son in Benton, Ill. Ricky Chekevdia , a 6-year-old boy whose mother, Shannon Wilfong, is accused of hiding him in a crawl space for nearly two years whenever visitors arrived will remain in state custody while he gets counseling meant to eventually reunite him with his father. Ricky and his mother vanished in November 2007. They were found Friday hiding in a small crawl space in his grandmother's two-story home in southern Illinois.
