If you see something, say something.
It’s become a common phrase in our society – if you witness something out of place, tell the authorities. But what happens if no one is around… would you put yourself in harm’s way to do something? Many people might not want to risk it, but, thankfully, the instinct to protect came over a girl in Kenosha, Wisconsin, several years ago when she realized something was very wrong.
In the end, she ended up saving someone from a horrible fate.
A few of the children who live in then-12-year-old Jada Miller’s neighborhood were all playing outside when one of the children noticed that Caylee, who was 4 at the time, was being led away by an adult.
The adult was not one of her parents.
Immediately, Jada jumped up and went running after Caylee and her abductor, while then-13-year-old Trinity Stout went to get Caylee’s parents.
When Jada reached Caylee and her kidnapper, she grabbed the little girl away and told the man that she was leaving.
“Caylee was like I’ll be back and then I looked at him and said, ‘no she won’t,'” Jada explained.
It turns out that Caylee’s would-be abductor was actually a neighbor that many in the area had begun to find suspicious.
Local authorities then held that neighbor on charges of disorderly conduct and the abduction of a child.
Jada’s actions prove that you can never be too young to stand up for someone who is in danger.
Don’t forget to share if you were inspired by this little girl’s brave actions!
