The band known as "Pink Floyd" had one of its band members known as Roger Waters commit a serious act of kindness this February. But first, the background on the story...
Felicia Perkins-Ferreira is a single mother that lives on the Carribean Island of Trinidad, and she hasn't had good sleep since her two sons were abducted by their father 5 years ago. The boys are now 7 and 11 years old. Their father died in 2017 fighting for ISIS. The two boys were taken in by their stepmother, however; only to be abandoned on the side of a road by a Syrian refugee camp where they were again taken in. A human rights lawyer by the name of Clive Stafford heard about the situation, and that's when "Pink Floyd's" co-founder, Roger Waters, comes into play. Roger, being shook by this story, luckily had access to a private jet, which he used to travel to Syria to fetch the children and bring them back to their mother. When they reunited, it is said that the boys couldn't get pried off their mother.
If you were put in the childrens shoes, would you try your best to seek help rather than be sitting ducks?
I would do everything in my power to tell someone at higher rank my situation and what they should do. I assume these children were very young when this happened.
If you were the mother, how would you react?
I would obviously be happy that my children are back from a war torn country. I would also be blessed that people like Roger Waters exist in this world. I would spend as much time as I can with my children to make up for lost time.

Good job overall! Be sure to comment three different days.
When your that young there really is no seeking for help all there is todo is just sit there and just hope for the best someone is coming to rescue you I would just wait and hope someone comes
I would be tromitised scared worried for kids hoping there ok and doing everything I can to get them back safe and sound
If I was in the boys' shoes, I would try to get help. However, I'm sure their resources were limited. I would be so grateful to have my sons back and that Roger Waters was kind enough to bring them home.
I don't know what I would do. I think that I would try to get help but maybe I would be a sitting duck. I would also spend as much time with my children too in order to make up for the lost time.
1) If I was a really young person, than yes I would go and look for help. I think that if these are young childeren that they would want to look for people that are older than them as well.
2) I would be very happy to see that all my children are back. This would be a great moment in my life and I would be really happy to see that my children are back from that bad country.
I would try everthing to get back with my mother because being with my mother gets me out of Syria and away from all the bad people that were there or that brought me there. I would be very happy that my children are back, but I would also be worried about the phsyological damage that they sustained and have to deal with now.
I would probably try to get out of the situation, but if it was more dangerous for me to run than sit there and hope that someone would help me I would stay there then. I would be overjoyed that my children were back and safe because any mother would be worried about her children being abducted and being in a country that's war-torn. I would try my best to never take advantage of my time with them after this
If I was in this situation I would definetly not be a sitting duck I would try to get out of this quickly as possible and seek help from and adult. I'm guessing these children are very young and they didn't know right. I would be very happy that my children would be back and should be blessed and spend time that you lost.
I agree, although these kids might've been too young to get have much information. I think that it is their best idea to look for some help. They also might've not been able to when they were with their dad. As a mother, I would also be very happy that my children have returned.
Since the kids are so young, I would doubt that they had grasped the gravity of the situation that they were in. They probably were just toted around and left because they didn't know any better, and they had no clue that they would need to defend themselves and stand up. If I was the mother, I would obviously be horrified, because really nothing should matter more to a mother than her own children, hence the title mother.
