A waitress "saw something" and "said something," police say. And, thanks to her efforts, officers say she helped a boy escape from "dangerous abuse."
Police say waitress Flavaine Carvalho was working at an Orlando restaurant on New Year's Day when she saw a family withholding food from an 11-year-old boy at one of the tables. Officers say she saw bruises on his body and decided to take action.
According to police, the woman created a sign to secretly ask if the boy if he needed help. When the boy signaled "yes," officers say she called police.
