In Detroit, MI on April 2, 2014, a tree trimmed- Steve Utash- accidently hit a young child who walked into the street carelessly. Mr. Utash did the right thing and stopped to see if the child was alright and to help him. A retired nurse, Deborah Hughes saw the accident and ran over to help care for the child. Quickly a crowd of up to twelve men began beating Mr. Utash to within a inch of his life (he may still die). Deborah Hughes, saw the assault and demanded that the criminals stop their assault, even laying next to the victim in an effort to protect him. The criminal mob stopped the attack thanks to Deborah Hughes. It is said that up to 100 people watched the attack and did nothing (except Ms. Hughes). Deborah Hughes is a civilian hero and deserves the Presidential Medal of Freedom!
