    Seeing a woman screaming, literally screaming at her son -- swearing at him, as he sat in the car - she was outside on the street, screaming at him to get out. And swearing at him and calling him names.

    I'm not a parent myself but I wanted to jump into the situation and hold him.

    I was with a couple of friends who knew the situation - - authorities knew of the family. I stayed until I knew things were okay. (He got out of car - - she quieted down. he looked to be about 11 years old)

    I've chosen not to be a parent but I wanted to run to him.
