Everyone Ignored This Boy Banging On Doors For Help, Until This Guy Opened The Doors

ADVERTISEMENT

It’s easy to be wary of strangers, especially when they’re banging on your door, but this man’s example is one that we should all be following.

Recently a school kid was knocking on his neighbor’s doors asking for help. He didn’t know them, and they didn’t know him, which is probably why nobody would assist him, but then he knocked on Brian Smith’s door, and the man didn’t hesitate to help the kid out. See for yourself below.

    I parise the guy and the kid... but :) Seeing how muscular Mr Brian is, no wonder he didn't hesitate to open the door. I'm a girl, 163 cm tall, don't do martial arts and the society we are living in I would be afraid to open the door to a stranger. THAT's what sad. I'm not justifying anyone, nor encouraging to keep doors closed. Just another point of view.

    precisely this. where i live, people use kids to make you open doors so they can jump you. it's sad, like you said. and i wish i were built like that bro there, but i'm a woman and i have a son too.

    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.

    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.

    BTW where were the parent's? This man did a great thing and that's awesome, but where was a parent? If you count on a stranger before going to a parent, that's a bigger issue...
