A Michigan police officer surprises a young mother and her daughter with selfless act. Officer Ben Hall was on patrol when he pulled a car over for a traffic violation. When he walked up to the vehicle he noticed a small girl in the car who was wearing a seat belt but not in a child's car seat.
The young mother, Alexis DeLorenzo told Officer Hall that she understood the importance of having her daughter in a car seat.
"When I spoke to DeLorenzo she was very forthcoming and knew that the child should be in a booster seat," Officer Hall said. "She admitted that she was wrong and that she had recently fallen on hard times."
DeLorenzo was traveling in a friends car. She said she's been living paycheck to paycheck and recently had her vehicle repossessed with her daughter's booster seat inside.
Officer Hall decided not to give the mother a traffic ticket. Instead he had the mother meet him in the nearby walmart parking lot, where he went inside and bought a car seat for the little girl.
"A ticket doesn't solve the situation. What solves it, is the child being in a booster seat like she should be. It was the easiest 50 bucks I ever spent," Hall said.
DeLorenzo said Officer Hall provided her some much-needed hope with his kindness.
"For a police officer that could have just given me a ticket, and gotten me in a whole lot of trouble, he out of the kindness of his own heart and out of his own pockets did something for me and my family that I'm never gonna forget," DeLorenzo said.
