VIDEO: Policeman Finds Mother and Child Sleeping in a Car, Buys Them Hotel Room

Police Lt. David Natt from Eugene, Oregon, showed an incredible act of generosity towards a family. He found a family of four, with the mother pregnant with the third child, sleeping in a car in the cold Oregon winter. The policeman was so impressed by the family that he offered to pay a hotel room for them so that they could have a good and safe sleep, protected from the harsh winter night.

Crews on the scene say Robert was discovered just west of the quarry, around 2:00 p.m. Friday. That’s not far from the North Anna Battlefield Park where search teams have been looking since Sunday afternoon. According to the Hanover County Sheriff’s Office, the location is approximately three-quarters of a mile from the location where Robert was last seen. Sheriff David Hines described Robert’s condition as, “serious, but in good shape.” Hines said Robert was found lying down in a creek bed by a citizen volunteer. We’ve confirmed Robert has been flown to VCU Medical Center. Doctors there say Robert is doing “remarkably well.”At VCU Medical Center, Robert is being treated for scrapes, bruises, and dehydration. Robert’s parents are there with him at the hospital.  They released brief statements to the media about their son.  These statements can be read in full below.  For now, the family is not speaking directly to the media.  They are spending time with Robert. During a press conference Friday, the Hanover County Sheriff’s Office thanked the more than 6,000 volunteers who helped look for Robert, including people from as far away as Alaska. Friday, more than 800 volunteers turned out to help look for Robert on day six of the search. Since Robert has been found alive, the Doswell Community Center has decided to host a candlelight celebration event at 7:30 p.m. Friday. That’s located off Highway 1. Organizers are saying everyone is welcome.
