Police Officer Took An 8-Year-Old Out For His Birthday Because No One Picked Him Up From School
KISUMU, KENYA - OCTOBER 20: A girl sits outside the main tent of a rally for opposition candidate Raila Odinga at the Ogango Grounds on October 20, 2017 in Kisumu, Kenya. Tensions are high as Kenya waits for a new Presidential vote after it annulled the results of the first vote in August. Opposition candidate Raila Odinga has rejected the new election, saying a free and fair election was not currently possible in Kenya.
A Wisconsin police officer got a call from a local elementary school, claiming a student had no one to pick him up. His mother was in jail and she had removed other family members from the emergency contact list, meaning officials had to involve police. It was also the boy’s birthday — he had just turned eight-years-old.
Officer Robinson met the boy before when he responded to a child custody dispute between his grandmother and mother.
After getting permission from his grandfather, who was babysitting the boy’s other siblings and couldn’t pick him up due to an injury, the officer strapped him into the police car, drove him around, gave him some Green Bay Packer cards, and took him to McDonald’s.
