Allentown teen saves boy from Bahama tide
A local recommended the spot, so on Wednesday a group of cruise-ship vacationers headed to Cabbage Beach in Nassau, Bahamas, to spend a mellow day in the sun.

Good for him. We need more stories about our young people who are actually doing good in the Morning Call. I'm glad there is a happy ending to this story.

Good kid!!!
If he's from the Palencar's that I know, he's from a good family, too! His instincts were to get that child to safety regardless of personal peril, which he didn't consider while doing it. He's an OLD school hero! |

See good things do happen!

It is so nice finally to read such a great story. It is nice to know there are some caring people out there. I am sure his parents are proud of him.

Just an observation - 16 yr. old and 5 yr. old in the Bahamas -- is the school year over? Anyway, this young man is a true hero.

What a great example of the Lehigh Valley. He should be very proud of himself. Most people would not have been brave enough to do that. What a great story...

The word hero is finally used correctly to describe John's actions. Great work young man!

I'd rather read stories like this more often,those waves can be rough this time of year(storm season)it was amazing he did the right thing.
And a good looking kid to boot. |

1 Noe that's a great attitude. Sad commentary on society when doing the right thing elicits the emotions shown above. |

Judge it!
