I debated which thread was best for this, and decided to put it here.

His boss asked him to compile data that would help ICE round up immigrant workers. So he quit

I debated which thread, too.... But these brief stories (about 11-year-old girls!) give me hope for humanity.... So inspiring.

Is it wrong that i'm feeling pity for the child's father because they had taken his child away from him??? Anyway, he must have had asked somebody to look after him.

Don't know the whole story.... The other person in the video, who was it? Was he holding the child over the balcony or just standing there, waiting?

I don't know what the hell was happening there.... I certainly hope this wasn't some sort of stunt.

I think it’s ok to feel pity, even when someone makes a really bad judgment call, such as this, but it could have had a really bad outcome. People have to pay the consequences for their bad actions, though. I would love more detail. Looks like two other people were right there, in close enough proximity to grab the child. Kind of odd.
