January 1 According to Fox News, a Massachusetts policeman recently paid for food for two women accused of burglary, saying that the children they brought reminded him of his two children.
Before Christmas, policeman Matt Lima was called a police officer that two women were trying to take unchecked goods out of the supermarket.
Matt arrived and found that they were carrying two children with all food.” I have a job but the kids’ mom doesn’t have a job and there’s something else at home and we just want to make Christmas dinner for our kids.” A woman told Matt.
The report said that the clerk asked them to put back the stolen things and never to enter the supermarket again, but Matt, the father of two girls, did not punish them by law.
Instead, he bought a gift card of his own pocket for $250 to pay them.” It’s hard to believe that if I were them, I would only buy what I could afford, or take risks for the children’s Christmas dinner. He said. The two women were so grateful for Matt’s kindness, even “a little shocked”.
Matt said that when he arrived at the supermarket, he pulled a woman aside and asked her to explain the situation to himself.
At that time, the two children, accompanied by the clerk, had no idea what had happened.
