PSA: See Something. Say Something.
Speaking up isn’t always easy – but it can save a life.
Recently, two local kids, just 13 and 15 years old, noticed troubling signs that one of their neighbours was experiencing intimate partner violence. They urged their parents to call 911. The parents hesitated, unsure about getting involved, until one child said:
"If it was you, I’d want someone to call."
The call was made. Officers arrived quickly, intervened, and arrested the suspect. The victim received support, the violence stopped, and the evidence helped secure a conviction. One brave moment changed the outcome, and it may have saved a life.
This is a powerful reminder for all of us:
• Don’t be a bystander.
• Don’t be afraid to speak up.
• Don’t wait for someone else to act.
If you see an emergency or believe someone is in danger, call 911 immediately. Your call could be the turning point for someone who can’t ask for help themselves.
