You won’t believe what this police officer does
We’ve heard a lot of stories lately about police officers who abuse their positions of power, so it’s nice to finally hear about an officer who just wants to make his town a little safer.
This police officer was on patrol when he got a call that there was a child in a backseat of a moving vehicle without a child seat. He then pulled over the mother who admitted she was wrong, but said she had recently fallen on hard times, therefore she couldn’t afford a car seat for her 5-year-old daughter. However, instead of writing the mother a ticket, this kind-hearted police officer did something to give her hope – he bought her a car seat.
The photo of them was posted on Facebook with the following comments:
After the police officer had done this amazing deed, local news tracked him and the mother down. She commented, ”It changed my life, I’m never going to forget him. And neither will my daughter.”
The police officer told reporters it was the easiest $50 he ever spent. “A ticket doesn’t solve the situation. What solves it is the child being in a booster seat like she should be.”
The mother said that as soon as she has the money, she will also be paying it forward.
