Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

Teens who befriended Foxboro boy with autism get Patriots tickets, celebrity shoutout

Michael Intoccia invites the teenagers and their mothers for pizza, then produces something rather bigger than the meal: Patriots tickets and on-field passes. Next comes Mark Wahlberg on FaceTime, with a movie-premiere invitation of his own.

Paul Burton's CBS Boston report follows up on a group of teens who befriended a young boy at an adventure park in Bellingham. Intoccia, founder of A Voice for Mikey, saw that earlier story and brought everyone together. The rewards are unexpected, but the friendship supplies the report's simplest line: "They're my teenagers," the boy says.

It was the most watched of CBS Boston's 15 uploads this week, reaching roughly 19,000 views. Several commenters ask for more coverage of young people doing good, while others focus on the parents who raised them.

The Patriots connection extends to the week's next most watched upload: Rob Gronkowski's induction into the team's Hall of Fame, covered by Nick Giovanni and Burton. Those two reports also have the strongest daily momentum among the channel's active videos.

Elsewhere, the newsroom covered a rain-soaked Snowport opening, grocery workers striking over pensions and Encore Boston Harbor employees returning after their own strike ended.

Across the channel, weekly views reached about 1.6 million, a little below WCCO - CBS Minnesota's total and above CBS Philadelphia's. Subscribers were unchanged over the week, and daily views are currently around a quarter of their usual level. Jon Keller's Massachusetts election discussion with Gin Dumcius and Katie Lannan adds another active thread beyond the Foxboro stories.

The parents of these kids should be proud of how they raised them. Showing Kindness and understanding and most importantly...acceptance. We need more of this and not less of it. Well done!

This is what we need to teach our children today. A seemingly small act of kindness is life changing! I’m not crying. You’re crying!
