Results: Caring Police Officers
On February 2, 2016, Cincinnati Police Officers found a 2 year-old little boy wandering the streets alone at 2:30 in the morning, barely clothed and suffering from the bitter cold. The officers immediately scooped the boy up and bought him shoes, a coat, pants, and fresh diapers. They then continued to care for the little boy until his mother showed up 3 hours later. Mom was arrested and the little boy was placed in the care of a relative. The photo is of one of the District 3 police officers, Will Nastold, trying to get the little guy to calm down enough to take a nap.
