City Council honors a Rochdale Village
Boy Scout who delivered his baby brother
BY BILL PARRY
Councilwoman Adrienne
Adams joined the Boy Scouts
of America Troop 263 at the
New Covenant Church in
Queens Village on Friday
to honor a Rochdale Village
Scout for the heroic act of delivering
his baby brother.
On Aug. 3, while at home
with his pregnant mother,
14-year-old Fabril Desroches
quickly jumped into action
when he noticed that his
mother’s water broke and she
was on the floor.
Without hesitation, Fabril
reached for a medical book
and skimmed through the
pages to find out how to help
his mother deliver the baby.
Fabril remained calm, even
as the baby emerged with
the umbilical cord wrapped
around his neck, and ensured
the well-being of his mother
and new brother, Farell.
Fabril’s courageous act
kept his mother and new
baby brother safe until the
ambulance arrived. For his
determination and bravery,
Adams presented Fabril with
a City Council proclamation
signed by the entire Queens
delegation.
“After learning of this remarkable
young man, I knew
that it was important to honor
Fabril Desroches for his
act of heroism,” Adams said.
“It is clear that scouting and
family values have played
an important role in Fabril’s
life. His act of courage and
bravery have inspired us
all.”
In partnership with The
Showing Hearts Foundation,
the family was presented
with baby clothes, a stroller
and car seat.
“We here at The Showing
Hearts Foundation are
pleased to take part alongside
Council member Adrienne
Adams, in honoring Fabril
City Councilwoman Adrinne Adams presents a proclamation to
14-year old Boy Scout Fabril Desroches honoring his bravery for
delivering his baby brother. Courtesy of Adams’ offi ce
Desroches for his courage
and bravery,” Showing
Hearts Foundation Executive
Director Davi Tanis said.
“As Nelson Mandela stated,
‘I learned that courage was
not the absence of fear, but
the triumph over it.’ Fabril,
we thank you for having the
courage to step up and take
action when your mother and
baby brother needed you the
most. Mom, you have raised
an amazing young man.”
Scout Master Rashaad
Bryan spoke on behalf of
the Boy Scouts of Troop 263
Queens.
“Be prepared is the
Scout’s motto. It means that
you are always ready to do
what is necessary to help others,
so I am not surprised at
what Fabril has done. He has
been a Scout in Troop 263
for the past four years and
is currently a Second-Class
Scout. Fabril has also earned
13 of the required 21 Merit
Badges to earn the highest
attainable rank in the nation,
the Eagle Scout Award.
It is evident that this young
man has learned a great
deal from being a part of our
organization.”
