Long story short, a couple weeks back I spoke up for a little girl getting roughed up by her dad, on the subway.
I'm not one for butting into peoples parenting. I don't have kids and from friends and family I understand sometimes what might seem excessive, really just is whats called for.
But.
When you see a parent pounding on a kid just because they're 7 and a bit fidgety, I can't and didn't stand by quietly.
After telling the dad to stop... and the 7 y.old telling me to shut up, I silenced myself and held my anger and tears in.
Once they left, a fellow passed me this note.
thank you stranger for reminding me who I am.
