He had noticed the suspicious behavior of a man with a toddler who wouldn’t stop crying. But in his uncertainty, he came up with a plan to get to the bottom of it!

Walking through the bus aisle pretending to look for it, he could look at the child more closely and his doubts were confirmed when he saw the boy’s shoes, which were red, as indicated in the Amber alert!
