A Florida waitress noticed a situation that was not right when she saw a family dining in.

That is when “seeing” and “saying something” is put to good use to help others.

According to Orlando Police officers, her quick thinking lead to help a young boy avoid more “dangerous abuse.”

From WKYC 3News Cleveland:

Police say waitress Flavaine Carvalho was working at an Orlando restaurant on New Year’s Day when she saw a family withholding food from an 11-year-old boy at one of the tables. Officers say she saw bruises on his body and decided to take action.

They also add that Carvalho made a sign for the boy asking him for help.  After several attempts, he nodded “yes.”

More information and details are in the Facebook post from the Orlando Police Department page.
