The police tried their best to help an out-of-town family with a special needs son.
Sara Ford and her family stopped to eat in Colonial Heights on their way home to New York. About two hours after leaving the restaurant, she realized her son Liam left his iPad behind. Liam, who is disabled, uses his iPad to learn.
Ford called the restaurant. Babette Hansen answered the phone. “I told Hansen my son is special needs and she was very supportive,” Ford said. She said that the iPad was still there and that they would keep it safe for her. Since they were already hours away, Hansen called the police for help.
“I’m a mom of three children grown and grandmother of five. One of them is Autistic (患孤独症的), and I know the needs of a mom with an Autistic child,” Hansen said. Then police Jason Chimera called the Ford family to tell them he’d take care of everything.
About 30 minutes later, he arrived at the police station with the iPad. Before mailing it back to the Ford family, the officers filled it with gifts.
“I was in tears for what they did for Liam,” Ford said
