To the couple who came to my daughters rescue when she was being attacked physically and emotionally at riverside Friday August 29th. My daughter is 17 and she has been having a rough week with the loss of her best friend out west who lost her battle with cancer. She is a sweet girl and very kind. When she was younger and in school people used to make fun of her for being overweight. It was a rough time for her growing up and she has a hard time trusting new people so her group of friends is very small. On Friday she was at the river listening to music when a couple a guys walked up to her and asked her if she was ok because she was crying. She said yes and explained to them why she was crying. They said they were sorry for her loss and just talked to her for a few more minutes before 2 girls came by and called out to their guy friends to come meet them. They said bye and walked away after giving her a hug. About 30 minutes after that happened these 2 girls walk up to her and started asking her if her boyfriend was hitting on her. She said no they just noticed her crying and asked if she was ok. These girls suddenly flipped out on my daughter and started to call her ugly and saying obviously they were joking, because her boyfriend would never be interested in her. She tried to just brush it off and continue listening to music. The other girl walked up close and pulled her ear phones out of her ear and continued to laugh at her and calling her names. She yelled out "I don't even know you and I don't care about you or your boyfriend issues just leave me alone." They continued to yell at her and call her even worse names. This wonderful mother and husband with a stroller ran up to her and these girls and started pulling the girls away from my daughter. The one girl started saying get your hands off me or I will call the police. The mother replied well now you know how this girl feels. She asked you to leave her alone what's so hard to understand about that? After 10 minutes of back and forth the girls finally left my daughter and that couple. They stayed with her and comforted her and asked her if she needed a ride or company as she walks home. She said no thank you and hugged them so tight. She got home and told me the whole story and I wish I can find out who this couple was. Please if you see this, email Jennifer.Olsen75@hotmail.com. To Spotted, can you please share this and ask people share it in hopes it will reach the right people. Possibly and this is a long shot, maybe the girls that came at my daughter will see this and see how inconsiderate and mean they actually were. Hopefully the insecure girl sits down and talks to her boyfriend and realizes how she blew this way out of proportion.

Signed a grateful mother
