A heartwarming video of a California police officer teaching an 11-year-old homeless girl how to play hopscotch has gone viral since it was posted on Facebook this past week.
Huntington Beach Police Officers Zach Pricer and Scott Marsh were out responding to a March 30 call describing reports of a suspicious vehicle, according to USA Today. When the officers arrived at the scene, they discovered that homeless girl and her mother were living in the car because they had no other place to go. While Marsh was busy arranging for housing for the mother and daughter through calling the department’s homeless task force, Pricer, 38, decided to try his hand at brightening up the 11-year-old girl’s day by teaching her how to play hopscotch.
A few Facebook comments were so heartwarming:
“Very sweet, but the officer is out. You can’t use your hand to balance when picking up the marker,” one commenter wrote. “Way to go Officer Pricer, you’re a good man.”
“Yes, police officers are human too! Absolutely love this; heartwarming,” another person wrote. “Officer Pricer, thank you for your service and giving this child the gift of your time.”
“The hand of God in action. His angels are everywhere even in blue,” another commented. “Thank you officers for being helpful, caring, and protective. Your humanity and efforts are so much appreciated. Blessings to you and your families.”
