'See Something, Say Something ' Florida Waitress praised for reporting alleged child abuse

ORLANDO, Fla. - A quick-thinking Orlando waitress is being hailed a hero after helping a boy escape from a possibly abusive home, police said. During a news conference on Thursday, Flavaine Carvalho said she was working on her day off at Mrs. Potato Restaurant on South Kirkman Road on New Year's Day when she noticed at one of her tables, everyone got food except an 11-year-old boy. She said when she asked if something was wrong with the food, the stepfather, Timothy Wilson II, told her the boy was going to eat dinner at home later. That's when she said she noticed bruises on the boy's face and arms.

"Couple of minutes later, I saw a bruise on the side of his eye. So I felt there was something really wrong." Carvalho said she thought to herself that she needed to do something. "I could not see the boy going away without any help." Carvalho, who has an 18-year-old daughter herself, used a handwritten sign to get the boy's attention.
