Judge helps woman when he finds out she's homeless
"Everybody deserves a chance in life..."
Judges aren't generally known for their ability to empathise with those who have been called in by the law.
Most of the time they are known for their stringent approach to adhering to the law, but it seems that is just a stereotype that has painted them all in the same light.
In fact, one judge that is known for his kindness is Judge Frank Caprio, from the American show, 'Court in Providence'.
One of his recent videos on YouTube showed how his ability to listen and be empathetic helped one woman catch a break.
In the video, a woman was called to court as she had unpaid bills on her car. What made it worse was that she was homeless and was living in her car.
After probing her with questions, Judge Caprio realised that she had been dealt some bad hands along the way - and he wanted to cut her some slack.

The judge's kindness brought about another person in the courtroom paying it forward - and so this woman was now able to secure a warm meal.
We love how he encouraged her to pay the kindness she received forward and that was the dose of inspiration we needed to share this message with you all.
What kind gesture have you done for someone today?
