The short story tells us how Officer Hall, who was on routine patrol, stopped a vehicle for a traffic violation, when he discovered that there was a small child in the car who was not in a car seat (she did have her seat-belt on). The driver, who was a young mom, told Officer Hall that, while she did understand the importance a car seat to any child, she just couldn’t afford it with her limited income.

And here comes the amazing part that touched so many people, bringing back hope and faith in the goodness of other people. Instead of giving the mother a ticket, the officer asked the mother and daughter to pull into the parking lot of a nearby Walmart, where he went inside and bought a car seat for the little girl.
