what could bud have said to defend himself? what do you think will happend in the morning when the sun rises?

he could have told ms or mr amos that toddy hurt him and he shouldnt have made it like he did somthing. in the morning when the sun rises i think thta he will escape or mr or ms amos come to bring him out or put him in another foster home  when he comes out he should tell what realy happend tell them that to take toddy away from him so he wont punch him again or he could have punched toddy back but he would have sufferd the same consaqenses. he should have told them when he was geting tooken in the basementm,but he didnt becuese he thot toddy would beat him up again or do the same thing and bud seems like a very nice person to do such a thing  would be a bad person but ms amos belives every thing that tod says
