To the guys who got out of their vehicle and didn’t think twice about helping, I hope I raise my son to be the men yall are. And I hope I raise my daughters to be as strong as Madison. I’m soo glad everyone is here to make a difference and tell their story. ❤
I don’t usually comment but I’m ten minutes in, thinking to myself, we got it right giving you a platform. You deserve all of the positivity that you spread back to you, tenfold. I’m proud to be part of your community.
I love hearing the word “is” instead of was
I'm happy that this one is a Survivor story
I’m angry at his parents for not doing more.
The guy who ran to help... risked his life for a stranger, is the hero in this story. Thank you. Sir ❤ 🙏
Imagine trying to take your exes life and a handsome brave hero saves her instead making you look even more like a POS and then you get life. And she goes on to be inspiring and successful. 10/10 ending.
I would be so proud to be Kennedys mama. She did a great job raising a man that saw a woman being hurt and didn’t think TWICE, even risked his hand 😭
We need more Kennedy’s. We’re so disconnected as a species and we forget that we NEED other people and we NEED to care for each other. It isn’t normal to be so isolated and think so selfishly. That is not built into our DNA. Everyone should have the same mindset of that young man.
The fact that the bystander was not only willing to immediately run and help but also to give a statement at sentencing is incredible. His parents should be proud. I’m so glad this story had a happy ending.
