A Mississippi Highway Patrol officer has bought a car seat for a woman's son after ticketing her three times.
As per the New York Post, Niya Sumter took to Facebook to share the story of trooper Bradley Sanders' kindness, explaining that she was pulled over while driving to her son's doctor's appointment.
"Can I say how good god is?" Sumter wrote in the post on November 19. "After giving me my tickets he said 'follow me, let's go buy your baby a car seat!'"
The mom explained that her son was attempting to get out of his "big boy seat" as she spoke to Sanders.
She concluded her Facebook post by writing: "He told me in January when I go to court he will throw them out I just thank god."
Sumter added a photograph of her excited son sitting inside a Walmart cart alongside Sanders.

The post about Sanders' kindness did not go unnoticed on Facebook, and at the time of writing, it has received over 5,000 reactions and more than 6,200 shares.
Reacting to the post, one Facebook user wrote: That's what the Badge is all about Luv this Thanks Mr Officer #UpholdtheLaw #Showcompassionforpeople [sic]"
A second added: "There's still some good hearts out here."
Meanwhile, a third wrote: "Aww that was so sweet of him, God bless him."
In an interview with WAPT, Sanders said that he decided to buy the car seat after speaking with his wife, who had phoned him as he made the traffic stop.
"He was buckled in," Sanders told the outlet, in reference to Sumter's son. "But he wasn't in the proper car seat and he was able to freely move around."
The officer said Sumter was "very grateful" for the car seat and knew exactly why she had been pulled over, adding: "She had no issue with what was going on."
Sanders told WAPT that the three tickets could be dismissed in court.
However, Sanders is far from the first highwayman to surprise people with his unsolicited kindness, and this San Diego Highwayman has been rescuing stranded travelers for over 50 years.
