The goal of many parents is to bring up their children to be self-sufficient and responsible individuals, and they recognize that this requires them to punish their children while still showing them a great deal of affection.

Therefore, it is not fair to criticize parents who are very protective of their children, particularly once they discover that their most precious child is the target of bullying at school.

But a kind parent in Houston, Texas, decided to use a novel way in order to deal with the bully who was picking on his kid, who is 8 years old.

Aubrey Fontenot, rather than becoming enraged at the adversary that his son faces on a regular basis, chose to spend some time getting to know Tamarion, his son’s tormentor, in order to better understand the reasons behind his disruptive conduct.

Aubrey contacted Tamarion’s parents and inquired as to whether or not he might take the youngster out for a relaxing drive in the afternoon. Aubrey did his best to be on Tamarion’s good side as they were driving about town together, and Tamarion’s parents were more than happy to comply.

When the child had reached a level of comfort with him, Aubrey did not hesitate to question him about why he was being so cruel to Jordan. The unanticipated answer of Tamarion to his question crushed his heart.

It would seem that Tamarion is also the target of ridicule due to the worn and often soiled clothing he wears. As a result, Tamarion is taking on Jordan in order to restore the ‘confidence’ that his adversaries had stomped on before.

After Aubrey heard Tamarion’s explanation, he could not help but feel sorry for the disadvantaged youngster.

Tamarion’s doting father made a call to the boy’s mother to verify his guess that the family was having financial difficulties. It has come to light that Tamarion and his family do not now own a residence that they can refer to as their own.

Aubrey decided to spend the remainder of the day lifting Tamarion’s spirits by bringing him shopping at a local mall. There, he took Tamarion shopping and purchased the small kid some new clothing and a new pair of shoes as a present.

Aubrey’s act of kindness did not end there; in order to help Tamarion even more, Aubrey also set up a GoFundMe page to raise money for Tamarion’s family. “Because a lot of us simply don’t care, we have no idea what these youngsters are going through these days… ”

A total of $27,441 was donated by over a thousand different individuals in the span of only seven days,  GoFundMe page that was established for Tamarion is still active.

The thoughtful act that Aubrey took demonstrates how far compassion can go in making a difference in a person’s life. If Aubrey gave in to his rage, he would not learn that the child who was tormenting his son had a more significant issue of his own to deal with.
