In  early November 2015, a heartwarming story emerged from Eindhoven, the  Netherlands, showing the compassionate side of law enforcement. A woman  had suffered a severe hypoglycemic episode—dangerously low blood  sugar—and was rushed to the hospital for urgent treatment. Left behind  were her five children, alone at home and understandably shaken by the  sudden emergency.

When two local  police officers arrived to assist, they quickly realized the children  had not eaten. Rather than simply waiting for other family members or  social services to arrive, the officers decided to help in a more  personal way. They stepped into the kitchen and prepared a simple but  comforting meal for the kids: egg sandwiches and fruit.

Their  kindness didn’t stop there. After making sure the children were fed,  one officer stayed behind to clean up the kitchen, while the other  captured the moment with a selfie.
