One morning, he was delivering the mail when he saw a two-year-old boy outside his home, looking troubled. The child recognized Stephen, so he looked at him for help.

Stephen asked the child why he was outside alone and where his mom was. The child pointed to his home and Stephen called into it but received no answer so he walked inside to see what happened.

The boy’s mother, Stephanie Wilson, was lying on the ground, unconscious so he dialed 911 and told the first responders to arrive as soon as possible.
