“New Bedford High School Sophomore Amari Sorrell (left), and Junior Ke’arni McCoy (right) were walking with two other friends on Halloween when they observed a young female, sensed that something might be wrong, and asked if she was OK.
Mentally disabled, the girl was reported missing earlier and according to her family, gets lost easily. They determined where she lived and walked her safely home. The responding police officer noted that Amari and Ke’arni could have easily ignored the individual. With all the young people out in costumes, their caring intervention possibly prevented something worse from happening.
WHALERS=Responsibility. Thank you, Amari and Ke’arni!!” – New Bedford Public Schools
