I threw my purse at a guy, hitting him in the head when I saw him cursing, dragging,and whipping a toddler across the parking lot. Does that count?

Called the cops on a freaky older (obviously nuts) guy who was hauling two very young and tragically unkempt children around in a Goodwill store. They did not appear to be his children and he kept addressing them like "come here, little boys". They were in a van that looked like they lived out of it. Everyone in the store was completely creeped out by him.

Tried to get a woman to get into into my car ( I'm a woman, too) on Christmas eve who was running down the road crying trying to get away from some man. She wouldn't come with me but thanked me for stopping, and I gave her an umbrella and my coat so she wouldn't freeze. Then called the cops after I pulled away.

Picked up another girl who was running down the road to get away from her abusive father. Drove her 45 min. to a relative's house in another town.
