Young boy standing and sitting on the road in James street Tuesday night

Sonia from Whakatane District

I just wanted to thank all those people who stopped to try to help the young boy on the road in James street.
It was wonderful to see people trying to help him, a lady standing beside him to make him visible to traffic and the gentleman who was flagging down traffic.
Thankyou to the police officers who arrived so quickly after my call and without lights and sirens which i think would have made things worse.
This little man was walking and sitting on the road in the dark, walking in front of cars wearing dark clothes, he wouldn't let anyone help or move him off the road.
It was a very scary moment and i hope the situation was resolved in his best interests.
I love seeing this side of our community ...
