Abel diverted the boys with stories, inventing characters like Rocky Head, Tomato Nose and a dog named Hungry Soup Bone. He also gave them fierce support. "When the police came at night to take us to the shelter," Michael remembers, "Abel told them to come back in the morning. When they insisted, he said, 'You'll take these kids over my dead body.'
