While doing her daily duties, Carvalho spots a boy that seems like he is in danger sitting together with his parents in a restaurant in Orlando. The little boy, only 11-years-old, took his chance to speak about the issue he had with his mother and step-father when Carvalho passes him a note asking if he needed help.
It turns out that both of the boy’s parents were abusive to him and police arrested them shortly after the incident.
Speaking about the moment she decided to intervene, Ms Carvalho said she noticed something was wrong when both the parents received food but that nothing had been ordered for the child. The waitress also noticed bruises to his arms and face.
