TUSCON, Ariz – A photo of a boy seen sitting all alone at a large table for his birthday party has gone viral, capturing the attention of Phoenix sports teams.
Mother Sil Mazzini told various Phoenix TV station KSAZ she had invited 32 of her son Teddy's classmates to his party at a pizza parlor, and not one child ended up attending.
