Well done young man.👏👏👏👏 He was walking home from an evening fishing trip along the canal in Knottingley, England when 13-year-old Connor West noticed a man hidden in the bushes, fixed on a woman walking her dog alone. Something about it felt wrong. Rather than walk on, Connor went straight to the woman. He quietly told her about the figure in the undergrowth. Then he walked beside her the whole way to her front door, making sure she got home safe. He never even gave her his name. The next morning, still shaken and grateful, the woman turned to local Facebook groups, trying to find the mystery boy who had looked out for her. Connor's father, Chris, spotted the post and recognized his own son. When he shared how proud he was, the story took off. It has now reached more than 3.1 million people. Chris praised the calm his son showed, the instinct to steady the situation rather than let it turn into something worse. "It's shown a great deal of maturity and courage for his age." Then came one more thing that stopped people in their tracks. Touched strangers wanted to collect money to reward Connor. The boy turned it down. He asked that every penny go instead to the Pontefract and Knottingley Foodbank, with winter coming. His father admitted he is not sure he would have made that choice at 13. "Every credit to him. It's unbelievable just how noble he is, and selfless." A boy walked a frightened stranger home and asked for nothing. Then, given the chance to be rewarded, he handed it to families who will need it most this winter.
