Bus driver stops bus to check on crying child

[MineralMan]

20. We all have a responsibility to stop and check to make sure

a child is OK. Or an adult. We must do this, in my opinion.

One time, my wife and I were on our way to a Halloween party, both of us dressed in clown outfits, complete with rubber noses and makeup. On our way, I say a boy of about 8 sitting on the sidewalk, next to his bicycle. He was crying. So, I stopped the car, got out, and asked if he was OK. Turned out his pant leg got caught in his bicycle chain, causing him to fall. Aside from a slight scrape on his elbow, he was OK. So, I freed his pant leg from the chain, got my toolbox, adjusted his too loose chain and sent him on his way. He said, "Mister? Are you really a clown?" I laughed, and told him that some people called me that sometimes. He rode off on his way, and we went to the party.

We cannot pass by people in distress. We must stop and see if we can help.
