You never know when you’re going to be surrounded by unforeseen circumstances. You could be at school, out with some family or friends, or even at work, when you need to jump into action to give someone a helping hand. And that’s exactly what happened with the man being interviewed in the video below.
Dillion Reagan happened to be in the right place at the right time—he was on his shift at the local Home Depot in Portland. He was at the store’s tool rental center when he heard a co-worker yelling for help—there was a violent domestic issue happening right in the parking lot of the store.
Dillion quickly went in to see what the problem was and how he can help. Upon his arrival, he said that a lady was yelling, “Somebody help me, please! He’s stealing my kid, he’s kidnapping my child!” He knew that he had to call the police and ensure that both child and mom stay safe. Both Dillion and his co-worker left their respective work and called the cops, who managed to come to the scene and take over from there.
But what really surprised Dillion, and almost everyone else that has now heard this story is that the following day, Dillion’s manager was upset with him for getting involved in the incident. The employee reports that he was told he should have continued doing his job. But all that mattered to Dillion at that moment, was the child’s safety.
A month-long investigation into the incident prompted the Home Depot to fire Dillion because he violated the company’s safety policy. This was unjustified. In light of all the support Dillion had though, the store has since allowed him to rejoin their team, and he should definitely be applauded for his effort in helping save an innocent life.
