To the woman who called the police when she witnessed a man physically abusing his kids on Monday Aug 20 on a north end sidewalk—THANK YOU for caring and getting involved. We’ve long suspected this creep’s violence towards the children but it was our word against his and there was nothing we could do. Now we have a witness and a police report and we might just save those kids from him yet. My eternal gratitude to you. P.S. The kids are OK now, your phone call made a big difference in the lives of that family. Thank you so very much. —Grateful For a Stranger’s Caring

Hopefully the mother isn’t abusive towards the children.Too many people just walk passed and do nothing.I think if a person that witnesses a child getting physically or mentally abused and do nothing, is as guilty as the abuser.
That witness may have saved generation’s of children in that family from abuse.I’m assuming of course that the BASTARD CHILD ABUSER was the father of the children.Parents don’t realize it but they pass down more than objects and traditions on to their children and grandchildren etc. abuse is passed on as well.
Good for you for notifying the authorities’ on that COWARDLY BASTARD.
