Would YOU give your jacket to a freezing child on a bus stop?

[Quinteszilla]

It seems a lot of people would.

People in t shirts in the snow, to help a freezing child. here

I wouldn't even notice

I have a teenager who has never ever worn a coat. I'd just assume it was by choice .

Haha same Laurie - apparently this means I'm not a common decent person!

Yes I would.

When I was 15, I was waiting at the bus stop to go home from school. It was snowing and the buses were running very late. As a typical 15 year old, I wasn't really dressed for the conditions, despite my mother trying to get me to wear a warm coat. A man, I would say in his 30's insisted I wore his coat until the bus came. He wasn't inappropriate in any way, just a kind man. I haven't forgotten this act of kindness even 30 years later.

I am a bit more sensible now

The video/story is now on Mail online.

What's surprising to me, is how many people seemed to just be wearing a sleeveless top underneath their coat! In Norway.

I've got 4 layers on inside my house with the heating on.

This made me cry too...

I'd like to think I'd give my coat, I love the guy at the end who was sitting there sleeveless, amazing.

I once offered my scarf to a child who was shivering and saying she was cold. I got daggers from the mother for my trouble. I guess she thought I was judging/interfering, but it was a genuine offer to help.

I still fancy Man with Skis. I might hang around bus stops in Norway looking woebegone and shivery hoping he'll come along.

Sunbathe, Norwegian homes are very warm inside. They are very well insulated. Most people I know keep the thermostat to around 24-26 degrees....

I would give my coat to a child if I lived in Oslo, but I've never really heard of anyone freezing to death in East London...

Thanks for this Quint. Great message.

And for which was hilarious

Of course I would.

Honestly, who wouldnt??

(Besides those with SN who might not recognise the situation)

I haven't forgiven you for, "what does the fox say?" however.

"Who wouldn't?"

Me - sorry.

No however I would ask the fuck were his parents and why the hell he was out without a coat

Saw a boy when it was snowing last year standing outside the betting shop with no coat I reported it to the school as he wasn't wearing a cost could see the uniform

But they were waiting for a bus. Presumably the people who "gave" them wanted their coat back when it turned up.

Interesting how many people had fleeces or jackets under their coats and offered those.

Good for you, trampstamp. Hope he got appropriate help.

Johannes says he is waiting for his teacher and his coat was stolen.
