Kindness is a trait that doesn’t require any training or a special budget, but it is easy to produce and has long-lasting effects. Kindness can also wear many costumes and it is a force so strong that it can be felt by both the receiver and giver. Here’s an endearing story about one police officer from Georgia, United States, who helped a toddler in need.

Indeed, there’s more to the role of a police officer than just catching bad guys. It was a normal day for Officer James Hurst, a police officer from the Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police Department (SCMPD), when he responded to a call of an unsupervised boy on May 9, 2016. The SCMPD said in a press release that a then-16-month-old boy was taken to hospital via an ambulance.
