A hero came to my daughters rescue, AntiBullying

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

Generosity

This evening I brought my 6 year old son to Pat & Hanks for dinner....we were having our usual, everyday chatter and enjoying our little "date". At the end of our meal, the waitress informed me that our dinner had already been paid for by the gentleman that was seated next to us. I don't know what compelled you to pay us such a kindness, sir, but you have been Spotted! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your generosity was much appreciated!

still plenty of good people out there

I work in the healthcare field and support people who experience significant boundaries in the community on a daily basis. I want to say thank you to those who have enough consideration to not walk in front of someone driving their wheelchair, hold open doors, or help move a chair or table in order for them to get someplace. When we say thank you, we truly do mean it.

Thank You

For the Woman in Detroit who was sitting next to me and my two boys at The Olive Garden I wanted to say "Thank you" .Not so much for paying for part of my boys lunch but for for saying how behaved and well mannered they were to their faces.I am a pretty lucky father to have the boys I do and it is nice to know other people notice.

Thank you for your kind words they mean allot

Dollarama kindness, gift card given to my daughter

Yesterday my daughter and I were at the Devonshire mall Dollarama around 8:20 pm. We had about 20 items. While we were about to go in the cashier line, a gentlemen with a greeting card stepped up to the line at the same time. Since he had just a card, we let him go ahead of us.
After we paid for our purchase we headed out to Bentley's to look at backpacks. The man that we let go ahead of us stopped my daughter as she was entering. He gave her a $25 gift card and said "here, give this to your mom". She came to me and told me so we ran out of the store looking for the man to thank him but we didn't see him. I just wanted to say thank you!! Your kindness made our day and my daughter wants to let you know she's sorry that she didn't say thank you. She was shocked. We do this all the time, and she was so happy/ confused. She wanted to say thank you to that man, but he left so quick. Again, thank you to the man for the giftcard. YOU"VE BEEN SPOTTED!!! #Randomactsofkindness

Favour

Just putting a message out for a favour. My husband's bike was stolen from our garage last night. It is no where near the value the thieves thought it was as it is ten years old. But being the only thing they took, they clearly thought different. As of right now it is my husband's sole means of transportation as well as immense sentimental value that no one can replace. That being said, if anyone knows of someone who brought a new bike home last night please ask for it to be returned. Thank you.
