She s been hailed a hero - by Amber Wemyss 15 Jan 2021
A quick-thinking waitress has been hailed a hero after she saved the life of an 11-year-old boy who was being tortured by his own parents.
Flaviane Carvalho was working a shift at Mrs Potato Head in Orlando when she noticed strange behaviour by the family on January 1st this year. When the order came to the table I observed that the boy was denied food, Carvalho recalled.
When she approached the family s table to check everything was ok, the child s stepfather insisted the boy would be eating dinner at home.
