Apparently, they were visiting family in the Dominican Republic, and the mom had to go back(early maybe?). She left her son with her family in the DR and flew back on her own, so the son had to fly back on his own a few days later.
Maybe I'm over protective or I just have different values, but I'm hard pressed to think of a scenario where I would leave my son in another country.
