Police have to deal with a lot of hardships in their line of duty, whether that involves tracking down dangerous criminals or putting themselves in a position where they’re not safe. Other times, they have to see things most people don’t like to even think about. It truly takes a sturdy individual with nerves of steel to work for the law like that.

Officer Gaetano Acerra responded to the boy’s call and drove to visit him at home. When he got there, things seemed normal and he decided to chat with the boy about why he wanted to run away. The boy told him that he’d gotten into an altercation with his mother over him being allowed to play his brother’s video games.

The boy led the officer into his house and showed him around. To Accerra’s surprise, the child’s room was empty besides for some clothes that had been stuffed in a garbage bag. The family was having a hard time settling down, having just moved to South Carolina from Texas in order to care for a sick relative. The boy’s mother had apparently encountered financial difficulties.

The officer left the house, not sure what he could do to help Cameron and his mother. He went about the rest of his shift as normal, but couldn’t shake the thoughts of the squalor the boy was forced to live in. He felt bad, so eventually he came to a decision that required going above and beyond the call of duty for the poor family.

Look guys, we gotta talk about this chicken nugget thing. I love chicken nuggets as much as anyone else, and if you ask anyone else they’ll tell you that they love chicken nuggets a lot. If I’m hungry, a bit strapped for cash maybe, you know I’ll be pulling into Burger King and scooping up 10 nuggets for $1.50. If I’m trying to live lavish, I’ll go to McDonald’s and get the best chicken nugs in the land.
