    You didn't get involved with them/the "altercation" which would have placed you at risk and perhaps incited further rage, but you were still an advocate for the powerless in that position

    You know what its like to have no power, and on this day you rose beyond that and not only took back your power, but also endeavoured to help the woman and child get some power in their lives too.

    You did the best you could and thats all anyone can ask
    Thats all I asked for once, and someone did something similar to you, and it did make a difference

    You are a fine human being, Smurf
    Thank you

    Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
    "I will try again tomorrow".

    Dear Smurf
    You're not the only one who was at the mercy of so called parents when you realized that no one was going to protect you except you.
    I am proud to know that you called the police on these people. Phonecalls from strangers sometimes do more good than from family members because you don't have a personal agenda.

    You made the world a little better.

    Just adding my Thank You here... and admiration. We all too often feel like it isn't our business. But everyone else is right - that poor girl is powerless if no one is standing up for her. If people keep complaining about the behavior, maybe it will bring enough attention to help her in some small way.

    Be proud of yourself -- not only for what you did for the girl, but for coming as far as you have.
