- When 13-year-old Gavin Mabes and some friends went to a skate park, nobody was there except Carter Bruynell, who was celebrating his 5th birthday with his mom. That's when something unexpected happened. Steve Hartman has their story on the road.

What’s that phrase from? Ive seen it used a couple times.
LeDonkly it’s the other way around

Y’all really made me think he was going to bully the kid..I was ready to throw some hands
Throw the hands with someone who you dont know where they live or their identity.
Sameeee
@really dude yesss lml

Themidnight well someone’s life is miserable
Imagine the heartbreak a loving Parent must feel when their kid is alone on its Birthday, damn thats hard
It’s heartbreaking when no one shows up to your child party. It’s happened a lot since one my kids birthdays is the 4th of July. He’s 9 now but every year we tried to throw him a party it was a flop. Now He definitely understands that sharing his bday with his country means sacrificing a typical bday party lol. But we always do something special for him now just as a family.
@@sandraaa8496 that's awesome you could also plan for another day :)
@@edenanderson5184 good idea. So I told him we could always do a party 2 weeks out to avoid messing with friends and family’s vacay lol.
Dawg I spend every birthday alone
Its happened to us luckily the one family that did show up was big. It still hurts when they ask where is everybody else? Everyone else RSVPed and didnt bother showing up. I ordered extra food etc,. It happens. Its life. I made sure my daughter had more presents than usual that year

Gavin was a LEADER. Once there is Leader, good or bad, to start, the others will follow.
C Smith i think that most people are too scared to show that level of compassion for mentally challenged kids and gay kids. In their minds being accepted by the crowd is more important then hypothetically being shunned by your classmates for sticking up for someone who’s different

This made my heart melt. I'm a junior in high school, and I will admit, I used to be one of the people in the pack that followed suit, but we were always the ones who ignored. Seeing this inspired me to be a better person, and lead that pack of friends to do goodness in the world. God Bless these kids, they are truly amazing:)
God please help you. In all and everything. Just move closer and closer to Him.

Comments: "who else thought they were gonna do something bad?"
Guys it literally says ACT OF KINDNESS in the title
Edit: yo did they change the title? I swear it was different
100% that was the most obvious setup for a subversion of expectactions
Well I got distracted
😂 your name makes calling them out even funnier
Yeah, despite the title saying it was good I kinda felt like something bad was gonna happen. I knew it’d be good because a ton of videos with whole hearted videos have been popping up lately though.
They want like lol
I have a son with Down Syndrome. I always wondered how he would be looked at and treated. Well he was voted Homecoming King in a high school of 2000 people. All those years of worry washed away by a selfless act by an entire class of teens. Made me cry.
Not all kids are bullies. What a beautiful act of kindness from them. We need more kids like them. Way to go mommas.
Stop saying
_"We need more people in the world like this"_
The next person like that could be *you.* And it _will_ if you just try.
*We need more people in the world like this*
Very nicely said. If everyone would put forth just a little more effort and attention, life could be good - really, really good! 💖🙏👍✌️
Well said
We already have more people in the world like this. They're just hidden, and you don't hear about them because they don't go out of their way to let everyone know they did something good.
Nice " if there no hero then become one yourself "
I love that he said " he's rad"
These kids are literally the best
I thought people stopped using that word after c.2009.
@@dorathedestroyer770 let's say that kids born after 2009 stopped using it, it will prob move up bcus skaters pass it down lmao

He was showing his darksliding prowess.
I remember that in my junior year of hs this group of kids was making fun of a girl with autism for sitting alone (🥺) so me and my friend went and sat with her. the people that were making fun of her turned real quiet real quick. She graduated in 2019 and her family invited us to her graduation and the graduation party. We took pictures with her and even invited her to our graduation ceremony and party (c/o 2021) we’re still in touch and we love her very much 🥺
There is still some good in this world. Absolute magic.
Such a 💓 felt story in these trying time's with the lunatic in office SMH that would never happen with his brainwashed braindead basehead supporters with that little boy they don't know what kindness is anymore since supporting that criminal of the United States SMH but WE THE PEOPLE can show each other and the rest of the world that no matter him being in our 🏠 we are the good people of the United States of America blessings to all
@@harlemnewyork8922 Why am I not surprised? Harlem trash.
There's still hope for redemption.
Nora Chance that’s what I was going to say and I agree
Great young people. Pass on the kindness.
why can't more stories like this be on the news? on facebook, yahoo, bing, and what not? probably too many focus on the kardashian brats. or what clothes paris hilton bought next.
GladDestronger so true
i think i hit the nail on the head with that one.
@@GladDestronger sure did
damn right i did. but why can't we get more sweet stories like this on the news?
Absolutely beautiful!! That little boy must’ve felt so loved when he had all those kids singing to him. What great role models, little ones always look to older children for a bit of guidance. I’m sure when he’s their age he’ll be going out of his way to give out random acts of kindness💕
When he said “he’s rad” I died 🥺❤️ MY HEART IS SO FULL PLEASE

@@chrissy7635 yeah
They are back and they hit me in the face with a nun chuk so that's why I am fully sobbing
❤❤❤👍👍👍.
Why can't they kids at my school be like this. High-schoolers here just push little kids onto the ground or smoke weed in the bathrooms and teach little kids how to smoke and vape and all that too.
Edit: the highschoolers who pushed and taught kids how to vape/smoke are now gone, expelled, or graduated.
Ooga very positive
ish Sadnezz they’re just following a crowd, if you stick up for mentally challenged kids or gay kids you’ll see that the person doing the bullying doesn’t mean it they just want to make it clear that they’re against them to fit in with the crowd. I have a gay friend and me and him are both males and people automatically think just because i support him than i myself have to be gay. It just goes to show that they’re more interested in being accepted than putting other people’s emotions into consideration.
ish Sadnezz when they grow up they’ll mature and realize that society isn’t a popularity contest like it was in school.
Look for Steve's On the Road video about the high school kid who started a club called We Dine Together, which has spread to other high schools in other states. Then look for the WDT website and see what you can do about starting a chapter in your high school. Be a force for positive change! You'll find you're not the only one in your school who feels the way you do.
I agree highschoolers and middle schoolers are so rude they bully every kid that's younger! And teachers try to stop them but just stop and do nothing
This literally brought tears to my eyes I have Autism and I know what it's like being left out and bullied
"He's rad."
Omg 🥺
* me minding my own business*. CZcams: you wanna cry 😏
Lol
Bingo
Exactly how I got here
oh well, why not?
Me: YES
Who else legit thought he was gonna do something bad to him???
Edit: i was in the middle of watching and forgot the title said 'how a simple act of kindness transformed a boys bday' lmao-
Yes
Ya lol
Me and tbh we shouldnt be thinking like that we need more people like that

SlowrollYTBFF 1 ik the title tricked me 😂
Seen this story at least 50 times, and yet it still brings a big smile to my face everytime I watch it..... just a good wholesome story all the way around
I want a group of friends just like them. They're sparkly souls ❤
Nothing cooler than knowing you raised a good kid.
There is, actually.
Knowing you raised a good kid, that actively encourages others to be good kids and helps those most in need, even when nothing is said :)
Autism can be very difficult to cope with even as an adult, as a child it can be almost impossible to cope with, especially like is mentioned in the video about large crowds of people.
And yet these group of kids brought out the best of themselves to the word, and not just once, but continually, always putting the more defenceless young kids first, that's good parenting all around by all parents of the kids in this story.
Having the kindness to put others first at all times. It will be great to see how things turn out in a few years time as they grow older, I can see a long term friendship in this video despite what differences you may see on the surface between them (Age, mental ability, etc).

Way to go Gavin!!! That kid is going to become such an incredible adult, because he's already incredible. He's definitely going to have good seats in heaven.
I'm happy these kids showed kindness to this boy. They didn't care if he was autistic, they wanted to be friends with him and that means so much to me. My brother is autistic and I was always worried people would treat him badly or different because of how he was, especially as he was younger when he didn't talk very much. Thankfully we went to a school where people were nice to each other. I'm not as worried as I used to be, (I still have my moments though) he just turned 24 a couple weeks ago and he is very independent and is able to talk to people and has friends he's met.
"This is enough to make a grown man cry"
"And that's okay."
Make peace not "guerra". Just kidding. Have a great day stranger
fr man I cried a bit dawg
I'm a grown man and I'm crying, I hope I'll be able to educate my future kids to be like this
Give those parents a damn Medal. That shows some Amazing Parenting. That's how I was raised. And the Happiness and Joy they brought to that Beautiful Little Boy. God Bless All Involved..

FACTS LMAO ME
I’m a teen but ‘HES RAD’ I’m so deadddd
An act of kindness by one can be an inspiration for the group. What great leadership skills and empathy this young man’s mother has instilled in him. Beautiful story.
You know you did your job as a parent when your child(ren) treat others with respect, kindness and love when you are not around. One act of kindness will make a world of difference.
I love how confident Carter was after the attention he got from the older kids. Fist bumping etc, so cute.
These kids made an impact and it will go with this family for the rest of their lives. Kindness is so lacking these days that it is so refreshing to see these kids showing us how its done.
Literally crying watching how kind they were treated Carter. ❤️
As a person with autism, this brought me to tears i get bullied a lot for having autism, I’m just glad that someone my age was willing to show the kindness in his heart.
Edit 1 (a year later): Thanks to all of the people who have responded, I am doing much better now! Though I do still have some problems because not many people understand the way I act sometimes or my stimming but I try not to let it get under my skin! besides that, my grades are pretty good, and I’m going to high school next year, and I’ve been planning what I’ve wanted to do for my future career, My mind is Set on Animation, I hope everyone (who has sent me nothing but kind responses) Is doing well right now as well! :]
Edit 2 (still a year later): I forgot to mention I’m learning Japanese! (you’d be surprised how hard it is to learn greetings)
I’m sry :(
sorry if this is not true but how do you have a lot of autism after you type that really nice punctuation and writing same for the profile???????
@@felinumber1796 it’s completely normal to have good grammar when you’re autistic ? I’m autistic too. You should look it up and educate yourself more.(this comment isnt supposed to be rude. Educating yourself is a good thing to me and asking questions is good too. Autism has many different levels and that’s why it’s called a “spectrum” ) have a good day
@@ix6553 he said a lot of autism
Love you , don’t give up ❤️
“He’s rad” a boy of little words 😂
my nephew has autism and it's really hard for him to make friends. this means a lot not only to the families but means so much to the child too. makes me feel really warm inside.
The second I saw the little boys mum smile when she said that their reactions shocked her, I started smiling, I already knew why they did was the right thing. You can tell how happy the mother was. God bless them all xx
why cant everyone be this nice
Astolfo bcuz unfortunately most people who are mean and evil are raised by mean, evil, abusive parents. These kind hearted kids are being raised in kind, nurturing, loving homes by great parents.
Instead of asking for people to be like this. Be like this

People who hate on others for there interests that literally don’t harm anyone like:
Aww this touched my heart because my brother has autism too
A few years ago a lol first grader with autism palmed me in the nose.
@P Watson Actually no I was talking with my guidance counselor and there was an autistic first grader talking with him too.And the Guidance counselor tried to introduce me to the first grader and the first grader refused to shake my hand.After a couple of minutes he decided to shake my hand(or so we thought)
And he said "Okay I'll shake his hand" and when we went in for the handshake he immediately pulled his hand away and palmed me in the nose. It didn't really hurt beings how he was alot younger than me.
What about the girls with Autism?
TheMidnightSatyr It’s cuz of autistic kids don’t know to act around people and they hate get physical likes hugs and stuff, lmao he palmed you in nose tho
@P Watson why are you so agressive like wtf dude you didn't evne know the backstory you act like a Hungarian because they are all serious!
We need more kids like Gavin! A little kindness goes a long way. 😘

Me too
Damn you got functioning ears too?
I've seen so many awful stories about bullying, it's so refreshing to see a kid with a great heart like Gavin. His mom deserves to be proud!
Ok, that did it, I’m bawling my eye out. Awesome group of kids! Well done parents!
These students are the products of good parenting, most likely "old school" style parenting like we had. Great work and a big shout out to all the parents and the students in this story
I agree. Isn't it nice when you are out in public and see a kid with manners or just being kind and then their parent(s) show up and you can tell them what you observed and say something like "it's nice to see that. Thank you for raising such a great kid" and you can see that it makes the parents proud to hear that.
"Old school" parenting is needed to raise a respectful, kind child. I have seen many kids along with friends do good deeds who weren't raise by "old school" parents. I may have been hit with a belt once, if that, and I think I turned out pretty damn well along with being told so.
crazeenydriver It is not only parents but any adults who care for the kids deserve credit too. Parenting is a part of it but the kids natural born character is part of it too. I guess it is an argument of nature versus nurture.
Good parenting,that's the magic word!
Old school parenting has the world as bad as it is.
We need more stories like this!! There are good people in this world, kids included. They don't all bully, they aren't all mean. Thanks for this feel good story!
Gavin is kind AND cute? i just died over here-

In the distant future, when Gavin is old and gray and passes on, and they refer to him as a "good man" in his eulogy, it will be said without even a hint of flattery. Because it will be the complete and honest truth. It takes a very special 13-year-old to be so sweet and loving toward a young child who is a complete stranger, with special needs no less. Bless him and his friends for being so cool and bless little Carter. And bless the parents for raising such good kids! So much joy from something so simple.
Bro when I heard the mom say "I wanted carter to have a good birthday" that actually fr made me tear up
AWwwwwwwww it made tears come out my eyes😍😍😍😍
Latashia Dodd me too 🥰
Me three and things don’t usually make me cry
Out your eyes? I would have never guessed 🤣🤣
We need more mature middle schoolers like this
My baby girl has Autism and it's beautiful seeing older kids seeing past that and giving them a different kind of love children need and want. My daughter loves my nephews because the just love to mess around and act like she taps them hard. I have never seen her bond with other children so to see that amazes me.
All those fabulous young people were raised right !!
This made me cried because know I know that there are middle school kids that don’t bully 😊
(Also reminds me of a friend that I have who treats me a little badly but gavin made me realise that my friend can CHANGE)
Gavin is a good kid
They made him seem like he was gonna be mean in the beginning 😂
Channel news are good at that
She taught her boy decency and kindness, and now he is spreading it around! Good for him.
This, all of this! THIS is what the news needs more of. All of this.
This is so cute,
My brother is also Autistic and seeing how much kindness they're giving makes me feel very delighted
He didn't have " just a good birthday" mom, he had a GREAT birthday and picked up a few freinds along the way.
"he's rad"
i almost cried
"that was so cool, wanna race?"
