When this 13-year-old called an officer to say he was going to run away from home, the cop decided to step in
He went to meet Cameron Simmons to see what happened
When the cop looked into his room he was shocked – no bed, just a deflated air mattress that gave him back pain
Apparently, his mother had fallen into financial difficulties since moving from Texas to care for a sick relative
So a few weeks later he returned with a real bed, a desk, a chair, a television, and a Nintendo Wii for Cameron
“My heart went out for him… I didn’t do this for publicity… I did it because I could. It was the right thing to do and I think people should do things like this”

The internet was quick to praise the officer for his compassion
