"Third Shift in District Three found this little guy wandering the streets," Hils wrote. "Further investigation led to (Hamilton County Job and Family Services) being contacted. He was in serious need of some clothes so Officer Jamie Landrum bought him a coat, pants, shoes and fresh diapers."

Hils said Landrum was on the floor trying to help the boy take a nap.

"This is who we are at CPD," he said.

The image was met with praise, and the Cincinnati Police Department shared the photo on their Facebook page.

WXIX reported that the boy's mother, Tanisha Cladwell, 28, came to the police station at 5:45 a.m. to pick up her son and admitted to being intoxicated.

A police report said she was arrested on a child abuse charge.

The boy is currently in a relative's care.
