After a video of him snatching a hat from a child at the U.S. Open went viral and ignited widespread outrage, Polish businessman Piotr Szczerek publicly apologized for his actions. Szczerek, head of the paving company Drogbruk, shared his regrets on the company’s official Instagram page and stated that all other comments attributed to him and his wife were fake. The exec explained that he didn’t mean to take the hat from the little boy, saying he thought it was meant for him. The footage captures tennis star Kamil Majchrzak holding out the hat toward the child until Szczerek abruptly intercepted, grabbed the hat, and tucked it into his wife’s tote bag. In the video, he appears to ignore the child’s protestations. “I would like to unequivocally apologize to the boy who was harmed, his family, as well as all the fans and the player himself,” Szczerek wrote on Instagram, via a translation. “I made a serious mistake.” “In the emotions, in the crowd’s joy after the victory, I was convinced that the tennis player was handing the cap in my direction — for my sons, who had earlier asked for autographs,” the CEO went on.  “Today, I know that I did something that looked like deliberately taking a souvenir from a child. That was never my intention, but it doesn’t change the fact that I hurt the boy and disappointed the fans. The cap has since been given to the boy, and apologies made to the family. I hope that at least in part I have repaired the harm I caused,” he added.  “It is a painful but necessary lesson in humility,” Szczerek wrote. Since the incident, Majchrzak located the boy, who was identified as Brock, and posed for photos with him. “Hello World, Together with Brock we wish you a great day!” the tennis pro wrote in an Instagram caption shared on Saturday. He showed a photo of himself giving more gifts to Brock in another Story.  Szczerek has been targeted online since the incident, with angry individuals bombarding his company with negative reviews and publicly criticizing him for his actions. 

No matter how diligent a parent is while watching their kids, anything can happen in the blink of an eye. A family of three was reminded of this during their recent trip to Hersheypark. At some point, the little boy and his parents got separated from one another. Once it was clear the parents needed help, they reached out to park officials, who began to search for him. Meanwhile, the young boy wandered the park. Eventually, he found his way to Hersheypark’s popular monorail ride. Because it was closed for the day, the opening to this area was safeguarded by a chained closure. Still, the little boy found his way inside and, eventually, found a way to walk on the monorail itself. That means he was nearly 100 feet in the air. Video below shows the harrowing moment guests attempted to direct the boy where to go. In the end, however, more direct action had to be taken… When a Little Boy Finds His Way on the Monorail at Hersheypark, Brave Strangers Swoop in to Save the Day The crowd was, understandably, distraught over the child walking in such a dangerous area. Unfortunately, it seems their attempts at helping may have overwhelmed the kid. At one point, he stops walking all together and can even be seen covering his ears. Thankfully, brave strangers found their way to the monorail and saved the day! As soon as park officials caught wind of this successful rescue mission, they helped reunite the boy with his undoubtedly grateful parents. “We are grateful for the vigilance of our guests and the swift response of our team, and we remain committed to maintaining the highest levels of guest safety throughout Hersheypark,” officials said in a statement.
