At times, merely being in the right location at the right moment is insufficient to rectify a situation. Frequently, it also requires the bravery to demonstrate your willingness to advocate for those who are in need and for the vulnerable.
What initially appeared to be an ordinary night out transformed into an unforgettable experience for four young boys. Arnaud Nimenya, Carsyn Wright, James Hielema, and Starlyn Rives-Perez were skateboarding in an underground parking garage when they encountered a rather unusual scene. A young girl, approximately 15 years old and inebriated, was being forcibly dragged through the area by a well-dressed older man. This sight alarmed the boys, who sensed that something was amiss. The girl’s condition was dire; she was so intoxicated that one of the boys recalled, “she was screaming and yelling. She just wanted to be out of there. She was all scuffed up and dirty.”
