Donna Ferrato began photography as a hobby and for pleasure. But she ended up being confronted by pain and agony of her subjects. In 1987 she rode with the Police in Minneapolis as they were responding to a 911 call. A little boy Diamond had called to say that his father was attacking his mother. Ferrato had never seen a small child stand up for his mother. She said this was a first because most children would generally be too frightened of violent fathers. The image of this rare courage and bravery is depicted in the photograph. This is one of the most influential pictures and hailed so by the Life Magazine. This image left a lasting impression on the police and the photographer, Ferrato as well!
