Twelve-year-old Gabe lives in Pennsylvania.
Through Snapchat, he made fast friends with a 6th grade girl in Grand Saline, Texas.

"I called the suicidal services thing first because I didn't know the number for your police," said Gabe.
With his help, police were able to track the girl down and get her help.
