PORTSMOUTH, Va. – A citizen caught some touching moments on camera as a Portsmouth Police Officer helped to calm a young boy.

When Officer Hawes noticed a mother having a hard time calming down her son, she asked if she could help.

Officer Hawes, a mother herself, held the boy and after only a few moments she was able to calm him.
