  • @johnnycotrel7413
    @johnnycotrel7413 Год назад +384

    I know why the kid followed him around,because this kid would give him the time of day and not to set him up or make fun of him but to see him as an equal,as a friend.It makes me wonder about the rest of the kids in that school. We are all just people here and there are way too many out there that care little for humanity.It's easier and feels better to get along than it does to hurt and fight others. Good job kid.

The youngsters get a bad press for being up to no good, vandalising the place, getting drunk and making older people scared to go out, because we have that here in Scotland as well, but it is the rotten few that gives them all a bad name. This young man has shown that they aren't all alike and that there are still good children being brought up that are caring and thoughtful, that want to do something to bring a smile to someone else and boy did he do that for this young man, thank you Dallin for the kindness in your soul.

    Very cool. My 16 year old son has Down syndrome and LOVES playing the drums - he's become a surprisingly good drummer just practicing along to rock music in his room. The thrill of his lifetime was last summer when his friend from school, who has a band, invited him to sit in on a couple songs at a block party.
    People with intellectual disabilities are people first - they have unique personalities, interests, dreams, etc. A little friendship from their typical peers goes a long way, and this young man's parents should be proud of his character.
