(PoliceOnline.com) – A photo of an officer coming to the rescue for a teenager is going viral.
A 13-year-old was at the state capitol to receive an award for Youth of the Year from the Boys & Girls Club when his aunt and mom realized his tie wasn’t tied, Victoria Mada wrote on Indiana Going Blue’s Facebook.
Mada said she and her sister don’t know how to tie ties and her nephew was “too embarrassed” to ask anyone else. Mada stopped the officer and asked him if he would help her nephew.
“[He] showed my nephew how to tie it correctly, congratulated him and shook his hand,” she wrote. “As a former 911 dispatcher, it meant a lot to me to show my nephew that cops are not bad people and that he can trust them and count on them to help him in any situation, even something as small as tying a tie.”
