Fidaa Zalbani is a mother who waits for her son, Mohammed. Mohammed is 17 years old. He is in Israeli detention. Every day, Fidaa checks his room. She makes his bed and looks at his clothes. She hopes he comes home soon. Many other Palestinian children are also in detention. They are often far from their families.

Fidaa and other families have hope. They wish for their children to return home. They want their children to be free and safe. This situation shows the sad times many families go through when a child is detained.
