James Smith, a defensive back on the Iowa State football team, is going to see his mom this weekend. No big deal, right? Lots of college students see their moms on the weekend, even if it is just over a laundry basket overflowing with socks and underwear.
James Smith's experience will be a little different. The last time he saw his mom, according to the Des Moines Register, he was 3 years old.
