Most people think of child marriage as something that only happens in other countries—and nobody could imagine it taking place in Europe or America. But what you may not know is that some states in America allow children as young as 12 to legally married.

In order to call attention to this important issue, YouTube star Coby Persin staged a social experiment in Times Square, New York. Persin begins his video by introducing the topic. Then the camera cuts to a 65-year-old groom in his tux holding the hand of his 12-year-old bride as the couple pose for wedding pictures.

This being Times Square, the couple quickly attract the attention of many onlookers. At first, people seem confused and many of them give the man dirty looks. But soon several people get step in to figure out exactly what is going on. When the groom doesn’t seem to feel shame, the situation gets more tense. Finally, a few Good Samaritans come to the girl’s defense and try to take her away to safety.

It’s a powerful statement of what happens when injustice occurs in front of our eyes. The challenge is how to act when it’s less obvious.

Persin captioned the video. “New Yorker’s didn’t stand for a child getting married to an older man, and neither should anywhere else in the world be ok with it!”

The video is both shocking and hopeful at the same time. Watch it below.

Child marriages take place every day. Please share this video to raise awareness on this important issue.

As soon as a couple finds out they’re going to have a child, the thought of waiting a whole nine months to meet the little nugget can feel like an eternity. Every checkup is like seeing a preview for the best movie ever made, the image becoming clearer and clearer each time you take a peek. Finally, the day arrives when you get to hold your baby in your arms and all of that waiting seems like it went by in the blink of an eye.

For musician Tom Fletcher, he and wife Giovanna helped pass the time before their first son, Buzz, was born in 2014 by taking photos of her pregnancy’s progress every day. After bringing Buzz into the world, the McFly singer compiled the footage for an adorable timelapse. So, naturally, when they found out they were pregnant again with their second son, they had to document the event in the same super-sweet way!

The video begins with Giovanna at three months along standing near the crib while Buzz and Tom hang out inside. If you couldn’t already tell from Buzz’s name, the nursery makes it pretty clear how much this family loves Disney! As Giovanna’s belly grows and grows, Tom sings a lovely song about how happy he is that they’ve made another new human together. He also expresses his hope that “it gets your nose, your fingers and your toes, ’cause mine are pretty gross let’s face it…” By the end, it’s time for Giovanna to walk away and return with their brand bundle of joy: Buddy Bob Fletcher.

Ward Miles was born 3 ½ months premature, weighing under 1 ½ pounds. His parents couldn’t hold him until four days after his birth, and he had to stay in the hospital for the first 107 days of his life. So while Ward’s first year of life was unimaginably challenging, it was also even more miraculous. Rumble shares the video Ward’s dad, Benjamin Scot Miller, made of that incredible time.

Piper the husky spent three days away from her family, when finally she is picked up. They had just gotten home from the hospital with their new baby, Lily Ann. Piper was excited to see her family again but had no idea what was in store.

They pull into the driveway, and Piper’s owner says she can already tell something is different. She just isn’t sure what has changed in the household. She certainly looks alert and excited, but unsure of what to anticipate. She even barks in impatience as her owner stands in one spot as he records.

He kept her on a leash to keep her calm at first. When she finally gets to the baby, Piper gently sniffs her. She already appears to love Lily, wagging and even doing a little dance of happiness. Piper and Lily are sure to be the best of friends, Lily is lucky to have such a loving constant companion as she grows up.

What a powerful moment these young people will never forget. When basketball Coach Buzz Williams saw the disrespect and lack of attention his players were displaying while the National Anthem was being played his idea to show them what it means to show honor has not only made an impact on them, but millions of people who also now have watched his teaching moment.

Coach Williams gathered together veterans from various services and lined them up for the players to see. He explained to them that these men and women interrupted their lives and chose to serve and honor their country with some giving the ultimate sacrifice. He talked to them that while the anthem is being played, he wanted them to think about that sacrifice for those two and a half minutes and show them the due honor and respect that deserve.

Not only was this a powerful lesson given on court, but also a lesson about respecting others throughout their lives. The impact was not only made on them, but also on the veterans as many had tears streaming down their faces.
