This a fantastic example of compassionate policing. They did not need to do this but they went out of their way to do try and bring a small amount of comfort of a child 🥺

What isn’t shown here is how emotional the policeman got when he brought them downstairs, he started crying and needed a minute 😞 this episode broke me

can you imagine wrapping your child's present, but not being able to witness them be opened. Devastating for the family

I remember I got my aunt a stuffed frog for her birthday, she got into a crash and the car rolled. The frog was taken as evidence and never returned. 💀

I can’t…the mum wrapping those presents with so much love. Looking forward to seeing her child’s face opening them. For weeks they would have been asking for things, reassuring them oh wait until your birthday. Heart breaking.
