Just read this on BBC News - an old lady has fought off 3 youths attacking a 12 year old girl with her walking stick!

Well done that lady! And for giving her the money out of her own purse too. Brings tears to my eyes.

Supergran!!! What a brave and wonderful lady!

What a wonderful woman. Makes you realise society isnt all that bad.

Hope they find her, she HAS to be a candidate for one of those pride of britain awards!

Brilliant, I sometimes think that that generation has more bravery in their pinkies than we have in our whole selves now a days

What a wonderful woman.

It's shame that more stories are coming out like this. There was one either at the end of last week or the beginning of this about 2 women walking their dogs run to help an elderly man who was being attacked.

One of them shouted to 2 male PCSO who walked to the seen while calling for police while these 2 women fought off the group attacking the old man.

The police answer was that PCSO's cannot arrest or detain people so they were unable to help.

I agree, PPB. They are maybe less worried about retaliation or the fact that the person may have a knife/gun, etc.

I think that they also grew up with a better sense of community. They would never walk past people in trouble

Exactly Paula- not a nation of wimps that age group!!

Thank God she didn't get stabbed.

Little toe-rags {angry]

Very impressive - good for her! And I do hope the family get to say 'thank you' in person.
