Every so often we’ll come across a story here at Shareably that restores our faith in humanity. With so much negativity surrounding us these days, it’s easy to forget that there’s still so much good happening around us.
Captain Neil Fetner was working the driver’s license checkpoint in Clanton, Alabama, when he pulled over a mother named Kristen Lawrence who was with her 3-year-old son Carter. While mom was gathering the information that the officer requested, Carter told Captain Fetner that he and her mom were heading to the local Arby’s for a meal. To make small talk, Captain Fetner asked Carter if he liked curly fries. When he responded yes, Captain Fetner jokingly told Carter if he would bring him some curly fries.
Well, Carter took his request seriously and when he and his mother ordered at Arby’s, Carter refused to let her mother ignore the Captain’s request. When Carter delivered the box of curly fries to Captain Fetner, the Captain couldn’t believe it! He was so thankful for what Carter did that he posted what happened on Facebook in order to identify the boy and his mother.
After the post was viewed over nine hundred thousand times, Carter and his mother were finally identified. Then, Captain Fetner invited the family over to Arby’s again for a meal on the Clanton Police Deparment and even made Carter an honorary police officer — how cool is that?
What an heartwarming story of a young boy with honest intentions and a police captain that couldn’t let a kind act go unreciprocated. What did you think about this story? We want to hear your thoughts. Let us know in the comments below!
