One February afternoon, Jesus Delgado was on break behind T2 Tacos, where he works as a cook, when he heard a commotion(骚动). He ran to the front of the Los Angeles Taco stand and saw a man and a woman arguing. She was screaming for help and had two young boys at her side. All of a sudden, the man hit her in the mouth, seized the smaller boy, and ran down the street .
“1 followed my judgement and chased him.” Jesus, 35, told the Argonaut newspaper. The older boy ran in the other direction to get help. A group of teenagers who had witnessed the attack assisted the woman, Lauren Kornacki, and called 911. She told them that she was the boys’ babysitter.
Within a few blocks, Jesus caught up to the man, Andron Gazarov, 33. They fought, and Jesus wrestled (抢夺) the young boy from Gazarov’s arms. Then Gazarov threw himself onto the sidewalk. “He was yelling at me that the kid didn’t belong to me. I was telling him the kid didn’t belong to him,” Jesus told the Argonaut.
Minutes later, Los Angeles police officers arrived and arrested Gazarov, who was charged with kidnapping, attempted kidnapping, and attack. He faces up to 12 years in prison, if convicted (定罪). The kids, Brendan O’Brien, 6, and Grady O’ Brien, 4, were unharmed.

Dear Dr. Fang,
I read your magazines every month. I myself is a teenager, almost 16, and have some problem at home and I hope you can help me. The mainly problem is that I can’t get along my father. Whenever I want to do something or suggest a idea, he didn’t listen to me. Then, when I refuse to listen to her, my father shouts at me angrily. He and my mother always make me to do things I don’t like, such as playing the piano and do housework. How should I do?
Yours,
Li Hua
