Belle Isle police buy young mother car seats instead of giving ticket
Central Florida police buy car seats for young mother
Belle Isle police recently stopped a car that had several kids inside who were not in car seats. The mother explained she didn't have a job just yet, so the officers pitched in the help.
BELLE ISLE, Fla. - Some officers in Central Florida made a young mother's day recently with their random act of kindness.
Officer Clark and Sergeant Ferraiuolo with the Belle Isle Police Department recently stopped a vehicle with several children, including a 9-month-old baby, who were not in car seats. Their mom claimed she had just moved to town, didn't have a job yet and was on her way to get her baby a car seat.

"Rather than giving the struggling mother a couple of traffic citations, the officers asked her if she needed help getting car seats. She did," the department wrote on Facebook.
The officers had the woman drop the kids off at home with a babysitter then followed her to Walmart. That's where they bought her one infant car seat and two booster seats. They say the mother was very appreciative!
