What was meant to be a heroic act has turned into a legal nightmare after a man who tried to save a baby from falling off a second-floor balcony was sued for $400,000 in damages. The case, which has sparked national outrage and debate over morality versus law, raises one haunting question: can a good deed really cost you everything?
The shocking incident occurred on a quiet weekday morning when Thomas Rivera, a 32-year-old delivery driver, was unloading packages on a city street. Security footage shows him suddenly looking up in horror as a baby slips from a balcony railing above. Without a moment’s hesitation, Thomas drops the package in his hands and sprints forward, arms outstretched, trying to catch the falling child.
