A Good Samaritan

Vince Milite is Public Works Director at Hanover Tp. I want to share this Facebook post from him today. It's proof that there still are good people out there.

Every now and then you hear a story of a very small child wandering the streets with just a diaper and a shirt, no pants, socks, or shoes. Well on this 40 degree day, Tricia Milite and myself saved one today on Center Street, Bethlehem. Thank you, City of Bethlehem Police Department and the rest of the good Samaritans who brought out clothes for this lost and wandering child. As it turns out there is a lot more to the story, but now she is safe. ... Wandering the streets at least half hour. Child was put into protective custody. ... [T]his baby was spotted on linden street several blocks away, and no one reported her. The person who spotted her did not have a cell phone and ran home to get a phone. Meanwhile she was just wandering around. Why did no one else care enough to get involved. Again we are not special in any way, we were doing what I thought anyone one would do. It's just a shame everyone else looked away.

    It's a cultural thing, so what. No harm no foul.

    Its no wonder in todays society people are afraid to even help a small child, call someone else to do it. It could be fear of being labeled an abductor, child molester or whatever. All common sense is now overridden by fear.

    Probably a racist comment.

    Jesus said imagine the heavenly reward for the man who does Gods work privately without praise.

    He did post about it on Facebook. If he didn't want to draw attention to himself, why post it.

    maybe he posted on it facebook to make people aware of things like this happening,and not to just look the other way when stuff like this happens. this little girl was wandering the streets for at least a half hour and no one stopped to help her.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
