Texas dad confronts his son's bully, and his heart turns compassionate

Aubrey Fontenot's 8-year-old son Jordan was being bullied at school. Fontenot spoke with school officials about it several times, and from them, got the feeling that the bully himself was in need of help. When the bully stole Jordan's phone, Fontenot had enough.

He contacted the bully's mother and learned the truth: the bully was himself being bullied by other children because he didn't have clean clothes or shoes. The family was homeless and struggling. 

Moved by the family's troubles, Fontenot decided to spend a day with the boy. He took him shopping, and bought him some clothes and shoes. They talked about morals and self-respect, and what it takes to transition from a troubled childhood into a man of character. Fontenot even set up a GoFundMe page to help the homeless family get back on their feet. 

Jordan and his bully met face-to-face at Fontenot's tattoo shop. The boys have reached an understanding, and have even played video games and gone to a Houston Texans game together. Fontenot wants more people to reach out to those who are struggling. As he said, "We all come from different backgrounds but we all share the same goal of success."
