Police trio help deliver baby at roadside

Police trio help deliver baby at roadside : "'The father was ... still in a panic because all this water started coming out, and he was worried about the car and I said: 'No, worry about the kid' and then the head popped out and the father caught the baby.'"
What a great story and the new Dad is never going to live this comment down. It's clear from the story that the woman was given over to nature who was guiding her and the 4 men assisting her took a little while to rally themselves but, in the end, turned in a great team effort so that the baby was born happily and safely. Much better than breathalizing and a greater gift than that of human spirit in a time of need I cannot think of. Police have to be so adaptable and all credit to them. It's why they should be kept away from paperwork as I blogged yesterday. Let them do their job because this is an opportunity where they get to get some real positives. Hats off to Constable Hadfield for leading the team through a successful al fresco birth .
