A group of Arkansas State Troopers went above and beyond for a 10-year-old boy.


Toxey turned 10-years-old over the weekend. He sent out invitations to his whole class for his birthday party. Sadly, no one showed up but what happened two days later is something he will never forget.

He didn't know what to expect when he opened his front door and was greeted by a line of state troopers.

“Scared and at the same time trying to figure out why they were here,” Toxey said.

They all came to celebrate with him after his mom sent out 21 invitations to his class but no one attended the party.

“Just heartbroken and helpless. It's the last thing you want to feel for your kid, that no one cared enough to come,” Angela Andrews said.

But days after, Toxey got the ultimate surprise birthday party by hanging out with troopers all day.

I honestly read that as Super Troopers at first.

As a first time Dad of 6+ months now, this sort of thing really saddens and worries me. I know how cruel kids can be, elementary school was rough for me.

 
The police came my birthday party once...

They didn't bring gifts, and I was fortunate they didn't give me a ride in their car.

Sounds like the parents might be a bit off socially if their child doesn't have any kids show up to his birthday party, and then gets a party thrown by the police.

Either way, good on them.

 
My son once got an invite to bday party for a girl in his class around this age. He didn't really know her, and of course we didn't know anything about her or her parents. They didn't live too far away, so we told him even though he didn't know her personally and it was an just an "everybody" invite, he should probably go.

He ended up having a great time, and the parents enthusiastically thanked us for bringing him, as he was the only boy that showed up among just a handful of girls (30 total kids were in the class). He made a lot of girlfriends that day.
