"He's awesome. That's the only word you can really use to describe C.B.," Iesha Roper-Boswel said. "It's just amazing, the bond he has with the children."

SOUTH HILL, Va. — He traded in his police badge for a moment to lay down on a sidewalk and play dolls with a group of little girls.

That moment was captured on video and it’s now stealing hearts all across the internet.

Iesha Roper-Boswel is the mother who shared the video of South Hill Virginia Officer C.B. Fleming taking a moment to play.

Roper-Boswel said Officer Fleming is a real-life superhero.

"He's awesome. That's the only word you can really use to describe C.B.," she said. "It's just amazing, the bond he has with the children."

According to WTVR, Officer Fleming arrived at the apartment complex to investigate a gas leak. After he made sure everyone was safe, that’s when he spotted a group of children playing.

He wanted to make sure the children felt safe.

Roper-Boswell recorded video of it and posted it on Facebook. That video has been viewed thousands of times by people all across the country.

"When I got into this job, I knew there was something different, other than just writing tickets and being the bad person all the time. I figured if I could be that bright spot in someone's day then that's all that mattered," said Fleming.

Roper-Boswell told Fleming how her daughter, niece and some of the other children were afraid of cops.

She said, “I captured that moment, not because I thought it would go viral, but it was amazing that my niece didn't break out into tears."

Fleming said, "I figured if I could let them know that I was an anchor point, that they could come and talk to me and trust me, then I could do some good.”

"I want everyone, not just the kids but the moms and dad to know that they can come to me."
