Steele wrote that the three teens, riding in a car, pulled into a local gas station.

“They all got out, and one by one they took their wallets out and handed this homeless man some cash,” Steele wrote, adding that the boys also shook the man’s hand.

“Let’s stop giving attention to the youth that do these horrible acts and start giving attention to THESE kind of kids,” Steele wrote.
