A police officer in South Bend, Indiana, got the surprise of her life recently from a person she saved over 20 years ago.
He was brought to the department where a civilian employee comforted him with a stuffed animal, but that was all Roberto Thiess could remember about the incident that happened 24 years ago.“I don’t know if massively surprised is the right word or best word, but you know, we do this like every day and you never hear what happens to the kids… and I’m just happy to find out that he did so well and wanted to see me, which is a big surprise too,” Hayes commented.
Following his rescue, he went into foster care and was later adopted. But as the years passed, he never forgot his guardian angel. Hayes was deeply touched by the gesture, stating, “Just to know that he never forgot it… that’s just really nice.”, “This is what it’s all about. This is what gives officers the strength both mentally and physically to answer that next call, show up for duty, just be there.”
