Moreover, the series disclosed that Anthony did not have a normal life like any
other kid because he was abducted by Burt Templet when he was five. He lived a
sheltered life where his every move was tracked by cameras at home. The boy
never knew what it was like to have friends and family and to study in a real
school since Burt confined him in the four walls of their home kept telling him
they had no one.
