Real Life Heroes

One example of a real life hero. Amazing selflessness he demonstrated at age 14 to volunteer to be lowered head first, 15m down a 30cm wide pipe to rescue the toddler.

Unfortunately after watching the vid I had a look at the YT comments and while it doesn't take away from him being a hero, it paints a poor picture of humanity on how he was treated after the rescue.

Here's the YT comment:
"This horrible accident but with a happy ending happened in April, 13, 2013 in Segarcea ( a small town with 7500 inhabitants) Dolj county, Romania. The full name of the hero is Cristian Marian Becheanu. Unfortunately for him Cristian was raised by his grandfather from a young age, his parents ( irresponsible people) abandoning him. After the accident local authorities and various businesses men made many promises to Cristian because they knew his financial situation but nothing came true. Even the parents of the rescued child barely greeted him on the street. Last year ( 2024 ) Cristian now married and with his own family was waiting for his son to turn two so they could leave the country for work and stay abroad for a while and better life. I know all these things because I’m a Romanian citizen such as Cristian."

Fortunately, 12 years later he seems to be leading a happy life with his partner and their baby (link to his FB page).
