Brave School Crossing Guard Fights Off Woman Trying to Kidnap An 8-Year-Old Girl 

So glad the 8 year old knew what to do to alert the crossing guard!

“It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog.” ― Mark Twain. Brave woman and smart child.

“Hold onto me and don’t let go” 😭😍🥰❤️

People idolize actors and celebrities BUT this woman is a true HERO!

Saved someone from their worst nightmare. What a blessing she is.

The certificate is nice an all but PLEASE give this woman a RAISE .

She should’ve been given a financial reward as well. She stepped outside of her job duty and risked her own safety for the well being of that child . She’s extremely courageous.

Everyone is saying we need more people like her but what about we say we need to be more like her? We should all take accountability when we see injustice and be that brave person so that we can inspire many more. Stay safe everyone!

My Grandma was a crossing guard for 30 years!!!!! She died right before I joined the Navy. I miss her. Thank you crossing guards!!!

The kidnapper is named Maria Ramirez, aged 50. Charged with one count of felony kidnapping.

Let's not forget to give HUGE kudos to the mom...who had obviously taught her child how to respond in such a situation. Not every kid would know to call out. Good job mom...and bless sweet crossing guard for being alert and attentive.

Well done to the mother for training her daughter to ask for help and to the crossing guard for doing her thing so well.

I suggested that she could use her stop sign and just smack the kidnapper in the face with it like a frying pan

I’m 29 and I still remember the lady who used to help us cross to get to my elementary every morning. They really do impact a child’s day! I remember giving her flowers every other morning. Thanks Genie!

If u ever see this " Thank You For Saving Her Life"

I just know she calls every child "baby" and encourages them to have a good day. I'm willing to bet they smile and try to tell her about their day right after school.

“Superhero’s come in small packages “ why he do her like that tho💀💀💀

When I was in elementary, the parents had to take turns being crossing guards.

God never said what size angle he was sending he just said he was sending one. God bless you Ms crossing guard

“A hero can be anyone, even a man doing something as simple and reassuring as putting a coat on a young boy's shoulders to let him know that the world hadn't ended” - Bruce Wayne

It's always nice to hear about positive stories like this in a never ending pool of negativity on the media these days.

That crossing guards an angle sent😄

amazing hero

THIS right here is why it is so important to teach kids starting around the ages of 7-8 about stranger danger because had she just kept walking with this person not knowing how to ask for help or what to do in a situation like this it could have went terribly wrong.

She's definitely a hero.....they should've given more than just a plaque.

Brave woman Brave child

This is the type of people we need in our world

So commendable, this woman, able to think on her own, and put that child's needs first. Wow I'm impressed by that lady; I sure hope I'd be as strong of character, and merit as she was.

Stories like these deserve much longer segments. Thank goodness for people like Adrian!

I'm glad there's good people in the world like her 👍🏼❤️😊

Comes to show not only men kidnap.

This lady is a hero. She deserves all the praise in the world for her efforts

You know, it would be better to just show the criminal's faces so everyone knows the kidnappers and to avoid them. Already 11k? Thank a ton for the likes folks, didn't think so many would agree. :P

this woman is a hero. thank god people like her exist in this world.

Woman: *saves child from being kidnapped* Everyone else: Wow, she pretty short

Oh my God, this is so nice, so courageous, and so powerful. The world needs heroes like her

This brought tears to my eyes....thank you Ms Adrian for being so concerned and brave....God bless you. ❤😇🙏!!

That’s so scary! A lot of little kids would be too scared to say anything.

May everybody have enough courage, kindness and strength like that crossing guard.

Your never too small to be big. God bless this woman for having the courage of a giant to take on the evil that live among us. She truly is a superhero! BTW- thanks for keeping all kids safe doing your job. Good things do come in small packages!♥️

Honestly this women is the best. We need more people like her.

That what our crossing guards do everyday they protect our children this incredible lady took it a step further in preventing a child from behind abducted during her watch. She thought of the child first and did not hesitate in protecting her. She is a hero in every parent and teacher she knows.

I love stories about true, everyday heroes. This woman is absolutely amazing and wonderful!

When I was a kid I would always walk to school and there was this crossing guard and I always was able to give her a fist bump while crossing from kindergarten to gr 3, one day she left and I diddent know what happened. She got replaced by someone else. I still think of what an impact it made in my life and I am grateful to this day for her. I left that school a year later.

Good woman. She needs a “hero fund me” like go fund me but it’s just money for being a hero. I would donate.

Not going to lie, I would of hit the women with the stop sign XD

The kid and crossimg guard were smart becuase the kid was not scared to speak up and say please help me and the crossing guard is smart because she was not afraid for her hieght and the lady or person who tried to kidnap the kid was taller than her

The crossing guard deserves all the gratitude the mother has as does the child who spoke out for herself and got help congratulations to the mother for training her child so well the child for choosing to not be a passive victim volunteer, and the crossing guard who did all she could and successfully prevented horrible tragedy

In a insane world where no one couldn't care less about anyone else...I applaud this lady!! True hero.

That's awesome!!! Never underestimate a person by their size, color, sexual orientation, or their sex because you never know what's behind any of that.

Amazing woman. Didn't hesitate, didn't fall victim to "I don't want to get involved", stepped in and saved a child from God only knows what. Bless this woman.

These crossing guards know the neighbors, the children, the parents. Our eyes and ears and this special lady, our hero!

Right on we need more people like her in this mean world

That crossing guard is a really life super hero

Give this woman an award. What she did wasn't just good, but also very heroic and brave.

It’s this part of the world I’m proud of.

You just never know who will step up to save the day. Brightest lights shine in the darkest times.

Thank god she helped her and good thing the lil girl said something

This lady needs a RAISE

God Bless that crossing guard. She deserves a big raise! That mom is right, who knows where her daughter would have been taken if it wasn't for the kind lady.

The FBI wants to know the location of the people who thumbs downed this video.

Our world needs more angels like this woman God Bless you ma'am 🙏😇

I remember being a crossing guard in 5th grade. There was a time when I was walking back home after crosswalk duty and I noticed some lady was following me, I took different routes to see if she was actually following me and she was. Each time I sped up she would speed up, so I decided to book it down once I got down my alley and when I did, she was sprinting after me. Luckily my house was close and I went through the back, jumped inside and locked the doors. When I peeked through the window she was outside looking around, I told my aunt and she went outside and asked the lady what she was doing on our property and the Lady said she was looking for her “son”. This was like 10 years ago, I’m 21 now but as a kid I was scared asf. I honestly should’ve called the cops, or just called my older cousins so we could jump her.

People seem to forget the important roles ALL school personnel play in kids lives. Janitors and school crossing guards aren’t just their jobs. They provide an important safety net for kids outside of the classroom.

She may be small but she is MIGHTY!! Good job Adrain!!! You earned yourself a big raise and I hope they give that to you for your heroism!!

not all heroes where a cape

This just reminds me of the kind man who was my cross guard in elementary. I don't remember his name now since it's been so long but we talked everyday as I was growing up. I always felt safe and comfortable around him, I believe he also would've done similar to protect any of the kids there. He was always so kind and protective, making sure we handled the busy road safely and taught us how to pay attention at all times. We need to acknowledge the people that all help enable safety for the kids of our country.

See that's the type of people we need to be heros to us and for our generation

That woman deserves every parents thanks and respect!!! Good for her. We need more people like this in the world, not the people that look away because they don’t want to get enfolded.

Its takes more than a village now a days. It takes a world that cares.

Proud of the crossing guard. She did what most people just avoid or even ignore. She's an Angel for that mom.

Even though this happened a few years ago, I want to thank Adrian for years of service to kids. All schools, public and private, need to have regular courses for elementary and junior high schoolers on Safety such as attempted kidnappings, how to help their schoolmates, learning their parents, grandparents phone/work numbers, how to ask for help, etc.

The world needs more people like her, then we'll be ok... Until then, the world is not a safe place

i wish they had a tape to let us see

Crossing guards really do need more recognition. This woman really is a hero and needs to be rewarded well

How could you thumbs down this She is an amazing angel 😇

So good the little girl said this is a stranger exactly what there taught they’re being taught to say that and she said it thank goodness what a brave crossing guard she is a hero!!

“Look for the helpers” - Mr. Rogers

Just goes to show that a big heart doesn't need a big body. My Mom was 5'0" and woe to the fool who messed with her kids......

Blessings to this lady for her braveness...

I still remember my crossing guard from primary school. He was the sweetest man and he served as crossing guard for two neighboring schools. He was always there with a smile no matter what time of day. I don’t know his name but I hope he’s okay.

that crossing guard is a guardian angel and an angel in disguise

People tend to avoid confrontation, and some people know when to step up. Bravo!

It is so wonderful and refreshing to see someone stepping in to help another person, and NOT seeing a handful of other people recording & and watching what is happening. Bless her.

a true Angel that saved a child... bless u

What a nice lady

She is a true hero and a treasure! Every parent's worst nightmare was thwarted by this super human! She's deffinately 1 that brings back faith in humanity by standing up to the face of evil

The world needs more people like the lady in the video, i have nothing but pure love and respect for her. I also pray the child wasn't hurt or too traumatised.

the crossing guard is a hero

she should of gotten double pay

This is amazing I love how they actually do love and care about their job, it’s not even about the job they do it because they don’t want any kid getting injured or what just happened in this video. Congratulations to Miss.Young🤝🤝

God bless her!

we need more people like you

Not in any way minimising what she did, she is 100% a hero but I wish we lived in a world where this was considered normal. Where we were not surprised by ones persons act of bravery. We do not have enough women like her in this world. Too many will just stand by and do nothing, because it doesn't affect them. This child was saved from goodness knows what, because this woman chose to stand up and help a vulnerable person. Absolutely celebrate this woman!!!

Woman: *is literally a hero Everyone else: “tiny small small tiny. Tiny tiny small hero tiny small.”

Psychologically, a short but tough lady is the ultimate safety-spot! She's approachable with her safety gear, but friendly looking and let's be honest, adorable! If I was that kid, SHE'S exactly who I'd get to help me! That's wonderful! I hope that little kid isn't traumatized. Good job 'Miss Crossing Guard!' #SuccessAchieved

Bless you Ms. Adrian. You're definitely a hero!

God bless this woman. True humanity

Thank you Ms. Young! You saved the child from so many terrible things. What a hero.

Stories like this make me cry. I cannot imagine if that was my child. 😢
