        Thank you for staying with them. It’s a battlefield outside the campus now, #HongKongPolice are firing so many rounds of teargas and rubber bullets at those who want to head #PolyU to rescue the students.

        Truly gratitude towards your help. And there are another group of adults "Protect the Children" also promise to protect the kids, all of you are heroes.https://twitter.com/hkdnow1/status/1196120022940180480?s=19 …

        “Protect Our Children” is a voluntary group who look after protesters in frontline. They are currently inside #PolyU, as they agree not to leave all other civilians behind. There is a high chance that they would be arrested and even subject to police violence. #SOSHK #SOSPolyU pic.twitter.com/EKPiTteHO6

        Thank you for staying with them! Actually they are just kids, they should enjoy their youth in their age, but not fight in tear gas and fire, put their lives at risks. Why the Gov so eager to push them to die? I really don't understand. #StandWithHongKong
