with hasan in slovakia. >> my mother is 84 and not mobile. i had put my son on the train to go to the slovakia border where he was by people with big hearts. i'd like to express sincere gratitude to the border guards and the volunteers of slovakia who sheltered by child, helped him to cross the border on his own. >> reporter: his rescue a family affair. some gave their mom advice on the best way to get hasan out of the war-torn country. but there were times they were scared he would get lost. did you think he wasn't going to make it or get lost or never see him again? >> i was believing that he will be with us because he is really clever and he could also call us and we were helping him. when i saw him, i thought now i can relax. >> quite a story. we saw so many families like
