Not all hero's wear capes - Reginald Vernon Oates

This is one that has fascinated me for years because yet again we see people getting caught up in horrible situations while doing something so average. It truly shows that something this terrifying could literally happen to any of us. Moral of the story....

Not Me, Not Today- The survival of Thad Phillips

In honor of the holidays I needed another story with a positive ending! I first saw Thad's story on I Survived and I was in utter shock! This case is one of our few child Not Me, Not Today stories and it proves, yet again, kids are so resilient. I had the honor of meeting a boy this week at work that has been through some of the toughest circumstances a human can endure and he did it with strength and a smile. As an adult it really put things in perspective for me, I am so inspired by these kids and I hope you are too! Moral of the story... "We can’t control all the variables in our lives. It’s about what we do with opportunities revoked or presented to us that determine how a story ends." - David Goggins Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This case has a very infamous interrogation that has gone viral over the years. We need to keep attention on this case because America's justice system needs to do better.
