Why a 12-year-old boy is on a mission to solve his town's pothole problem

When a pothole took out his mom's tire, Monte Scott decided he needed to take action. Now his community is recognizing him for his good deeds. Steve Hartman has his story on the road.

Your city should be thankful for him drawing attention to something they failed to do. Fix the potholes and he will find a greater way to help others. Bless his mom.

A good boy deed, but a full hand of shameful politicians for not doing anything g about it. Go on boy. God bless your intelligence and your good heart.

All mothers should be like her. To teach children safety & responsibility to yourself & community. If everyone would be like this young man, the world would be a much better place.

Aspiring construction manager and road worker! Much respect! I hope he gets into a good university with major in construction management, design, architecture, or landscape architecture and earns his bachelors and does big in school (especially with STEM subjects) and in the working field! He could definitely be a legendary worker and college student! I see his aspiration!
