The story does not end there. Officer Thompson eventually adopted the boy. The young boy now has the legal name of John Thompson.

He lives happily with his new family in a new, loving home.

The tale has another twist to it. The boy's biological mother went to jail while pregnant with John's sister. Hopefully, the baby girl will also find a loving home.

John Thompson suffered immensely from the abuse he dealt with in his original home. The memories derived from the experience will never be pleasant ones. Since he now lives in a home with a lot of love, the healing process can begin.

The sad tale's uplifting conclusion should lead some to believe there are some truly wonderful people in the world. Tell others about the story of Officer Thompson and his newly adopted son. The story may inspire many.
