A Georgia State Trooper is being lauded for what he did after discovering four children following their parents’ tragic death in a car accident.

Trooper Bradley responded to the wreck and found the two adults dead, and soon found they were husband and wife. He went with a deputy to their address, which was less than a mile away, and four kids answered dressed in costumes because it was Halloween. 

“We were lost with words,” he recounted in a Facebook post. “The deputy then asked the eldest boy if anybody was home, hoping for a ‘Yes’ but the boy would unknowingly disappoint us. ’My parents went to the store to get more face paint. They told us not to open the door for anybody, but they should be back soon.'”

The deputy and Bradley stalled as their colleagues searched for the nearest living relative. They reached the kids’ paternal grandmother and told her to come claim custody of the kids. She left immediately but lives in Florida so it would be a while.
