BRUNSWICK — The oversized stroller used to help a disabled Brunswick boy has been returned.

Daniel Follett’s cranberry-colored stroller disappeared from a skating rink last week. His family left the stroller there in their rush to take a relative who had broken her wrist to the hospital.

His mother, Julie Follett, said she needs the stroller to help protect her son, who is mentally retarded.

Follett said it took her six months to convince Medicaid to pay for the $700 stroller.

On Wednesday night, she learned that the people who found it had returned it to police.

“It was covered up with a bunch of snow,” said Claire L’Heureux of Cundy’s Harbor. “You could see the wheel and part of the handles.”

She and her husband took it home, cleaned it up, tightened a few bolts and planned on bringing it the police. But when the holiday weekend hit, they put it off.
