A police officer is getting some well deserved praise for what happened after he pulled over a woman.

According to WILX-TV 10, her five year old daughter wasn't riding in a car seat.  She told the policeman that she'd fallen on hard times and couldn't afford one.

So instead of the policeman writing a ticket, he went to Walmart and purchased a new booster seat for her child just to help them out.

Whenever you get the chance in life to pay it forward, don't hesitate.   If more and more people pay it forward, just imagine what a better place our world would be.
