A man saw a teenager with a shotgun walk into an elementary school and followed him inside instead of waiting for someone else to act. In the minutes before police arrived he ended the threat, limiting the damage that had already taken three children and a teacher. That kind of decisive courage used to be the standard we expected when kids are in danger.At the same time a fundraiser for the parents of a woman who strangled her own three children has collected well over a million dollars. The public that once demanded accountability now opens its wallets for those closest to the crime while the man who actually protected schoolchildren remains unnamed and unsupported.We have started rewarding the wrong people and ignoring the ones who still step up when it matters. The bystander who ran toward the gunfire did more for the children in that building than any amount of online sympathy ever will.
