Currently, Williams is in the hospital for wounds throughout his body. The boy had his ears torn from his head in the incident, according to KnoxNews.com.
Since word of the attack has spread, Williams and his family have seen the community come together in hope of the boy's full recovery. Many strangers have sent get well soon cards and toys to the family, along with their best wishes.
"One woman made a quilt for him and dropped it at the hospital," hospital spokesman Jim Ragonese told the news source. "Someone else came in and brought the little guy Bug Juice after they read about how he liked it in the newspaper this weekend."
