The 6-year-old boy who was kidnapped by a gunman who stormed a school bus in Alabama “has had a very hard time sleeping soundly,” said his mother, Jennifer Kirkland. “He slings his arms and tosses and turns. He's cried out a few times." Kirkland and the boy, Ethan, will appear today on “The Dr. Phil Show,” in what was the mother’s first interview after the boy’s six-day ordeal. Ethan was rescued after officials stormed the bunker where he was being held and killed his abductor.
