This made Tyson share his thoughts on his son. He said, “That doesn’t go for everyone, some kids from influenced families, they leave, just leave the house. They don’t want to be involved with nothing. The rich kids from affluent families don’t care. I have a son. He just wants nothing from me. He has left.”
Unlike other kids, according to Tyson, his son takes nothing from him. He’s a ‘missionary’. He wanted to help people. And that is why he has gone his separate way.
The exceptional storyline of Tyson’s son impressed Maher. He labeled it as ‘fantastic’ and said, “It’s wonderful. I mean, I wish there were more kids like him. That’s a wonderful story. That’s not the typical story.”
Certainly, the story of Tyson’s son is unique and praiseworthy. Leaving home to help others is not an easy step. Tyson also believes him and admitted that he would not force money on his son. He just wanted to see how it works.
