When a man was stopped for drunk driving, his son took the initiative of pointing out his wrong doing, even expressing concern that he'd no longer be able to live with his father, according to Chinese online media outlet Pear Videos.

The two were stopped in Taiyuan City in China’s Shandong Province on the evening of Aug. 18. Police body cams recorded the video of the stop, revealing the boy’s concern for his father’s behavior, according to the Aug. 22 report.
