It took a teddy bear and a freeze pop to calm him down, but AJ is still afraid of crowds and being outside.
His mother Sharelle Turner says he's traumatized by what happened at Harambee Park.
She describes her son as very energetic. He wants to ride his scooter and his bike. He can't ride yet, but his two dogs are helping him recover. And she says AJ looks forward to going back to preschool.
