One of the best roles a man could have is being a father. At times a dad too needs a helping hand just like the story below who was touched by the generosity of the officer going out of his way and lending a helping hand.
Jose Moncayo arrived at the Utah County courthouse with his daughter Abi, 2, since he didn’t have a babysitter and could not leave her alone at home. The father daughter waited outside the courtroom. When it was finally Jose time to enter the court he realized he couldn’t take his daughter inside the court and that’s when an officer came to their rescue.
Officer Kevin Norris from the Orem Police Department noticed the two waiting in the hall to give his own testimony. He happily came forward to help them. He held her hand and walked around with her in the building.
He made sure she drank plenty of water and from the other officers in the courthouse also got some treats. After a while Abi got tired, sat on officer Norris lap, watched a little cartoon and later went to sleep in his arms. like a little angel.
When Jose came back from the courtroom he witnessed a charming moment of how much officers care about people around them. Abi sure had a good comfortable time in the courtroom.
Officer Norris expressed that we are not just officers who arrest people but also to make the community a wonderful place.
The footage was shared by the Orem County Police on their Facebook page where it has received million views. Do share this heartwarming video where it is all about hope, positivity, love and kindness.
Last week, Officer Norris was waiting to testify in a hearing when he saw a very rambunctious two year old waiting with her father (Who also had a court case) in the lobby. The father had a court case scheduled and was unable to leave the little girl at home. When it was time for his case to be heard he tried to take his daughter into court with him. However, kids are not allowed in the court room for various reasons and the girls father didn't know what to do……. That was until Officer Norris offered to babysit for the man. You'll see from the court surveillance video that the little girl took to Officer Norris as he walked her around, getting drinks of water and treats from the Deputies at the front door. He pulled up some cartoons on his cell phone and the little girl climbed up onto his lap and she must've been worn out from all running around she had done because she quickly fell asleep on Officer Norris' lap. You can tell that Officer Norris is a father first and police officer second!
