When it comes to celebrating your birthday as a child, there’s nothing greater than being picked up from school, going out to dinner with your family and friends, and stuffing your face with more cake than any human should ever consume.
Unfortunately for one elementary school student in Green Bay, Wisconsin, Monday’s birthday surprise was far from celebratory.
At the end of the school day the child was never picked up. He was at the school so late that Green Bay Police had to pick him up instead.
Enter: Officer Robinson.
The child had no known family contacts and his parent is incarcerated, leaving him completely abandoned on his birthday.
“Thanks to the owners of our local McDonald’s, we were given free cheeseburger coupons to hand out in certain situations,” the Department posted on Facebook. “Officer Robinson took the child for a meal at McDonald’s and a ride around in the police car for his birthday.”
