Depending on the neighborhood, some caution is warranted. But a good look into the boy's eyes would go a long way in deciding innocence, or bad intent. If the former is the case, then by all means, getting the young mind back to school would be a wonderful help for everyone.

SAY NO MORE FAM IMMA TAKE YOU TO SCHOOL. GO GET YO SELF E D U C A T E D! This is awesome, this guy is awesome, this kid is awesome

This guy has a kind heart. However I would rather my kid missed one day of school and came home rather than knock on the wrong stranger's door. Call me cynical but it's a sick world.

Wait, why didn't his mother take him? Or father...? Were they at work??

Safety & parental issues aside, this is great feels. A salute to you, sir.

I really like the guy's account of the event lol.

Glad the kid knocked on a nice person's door, could have been a nutter. If that was my boy I would wonder why he can't call me or the school instead of banging on stranger's doors and then got into car with him. He was lucky to say the least. However there is nothing heroic about this, only naive trust. So sad that we live in a world where kids have to be careful but we do.

This guy did the right thing, I am glad the little boy didn't accidentally knock on the wrong door. Alot of people don't know how much an action like this means to anyone. Other kids would've just stayed home, but this kid made sure he went to school. Both of these people have my prayers and best of luck being successful in what you want to do.

Good of him. Should be normal though. Messed up world -.-

But... but.. why taking a picture first ?? Can't this guy just do a good thing without thinking of advertising it in the future on the internet (with of course a picture of himself) ? I don't get it. plus, his reaction is just normal, NOR-MAL. No need to set off fireworks. This generation definitely is narcissistic

Ppl talk all this c**p about what they WOULD HAVE done, but statistics show almost no one would do anything. I mean, we've all seen the show "What would you do?" where 9 out of every 10 ppl, when presented in adverse circumstances or scenarios, essentially say "Not my problem." Everybody's a hero on social media, but won't really do s**t. Otherwise, this situation wouldn't have even been possible.

My kids used to miss the bus a lot. My wife or I used to chase the bus down. Once it got on the highway, it was too late. We’d have to bring the kids all the way to school, about 25 miles away! I wouldn’t expect Mr. Smith to drive somebody else’s kid THAT far, and I wouldn’t take a kid I didn’t know that far either. Three or four mile radius, tops.

I experienced something like this, but the Kid who knocked on my door was older and was Mentally challenged. He had already knocked on 10 doors and was told no. He got off the bus at the wrong bus stop. He was carrying a big Yellow Tupperware bowl with left over salad. He took the bus for the first time because he graduating from a Modeling school. Well I took a chance and gave him a ride home, could not turn him down and didn't understand how my neighbors could not see this kid was naive and could have easily been abused. It was a weird experience, He was a teenager white blue eyed in a bad side of town. He lived more North and him carrying the bowl was a sign to me that I had to take him home. I was scared driving him thinking it was a trap maybe I was being followed by others, Making it more than what it was. The Mother was a nurse working the night shift so she was sleeping while he was proving he could get home by himself. I was like wow I did something good and amazing .

That guy is awesome!

You did the right thing bro. Well done.

This made me all teary eyed! Mr. Brian, you rock!

People need to get over themselves and stop being frightened. I mean COME ON! Go to the door and ask questions, don't be a victim.

You're a good man Brian Smith <3

WOW! WHAT A BIG HEART YOU HAVE.

Will someone please send this story to that jerk kaepernick how you help someone!

"Then START WALKING YOUR BUTT TO SCHOOL!" "You know where the school is"? So you're knocking on my door waking me up this kid is in the wrong, not everyone you see is taking you to school. He needs to know that it's HIS JOB TO WAKE UP ON TIME TO GET SCHOOL! You might be late but that is on him. This is how my parents taught us.
