A few weeks ago, a Sumter, S.C. police officer, Gaetano Acerra, responded to call from an upset 13-year-old Cameron Simmons, who told the cop that he didn’t want to live with his family anymore. Simmons just had a fight with his mom, the local Fox affiliate reports.
“I said, ‘You have it good, you have a roof over your head,’ I told him I would try to help him out, and here we are now,” Acerra told Fox 12.
When Acerra brought Simmons home, he discovered that the boy didn’t have a bed, or really anything that you’d expect to find in a standard bedroom.

I thank Acerra for doing what he did, and would hold my hope in humanity that more of this would happen countrywide, which between Christian and Police associations would show their colors in this type of endeavor.
Now, if our taxes didn't have to be so high in order to pay for those who choose not to work, then Acerra, and all of us, for that matter, would be more able to help real, struggling people like this right in our own neighborhoods, where the recipients may actually imagine to pay back to the givers when they are recovered and back on their feet.
But, no, that would be "illegal".
