Amidst the ongoing protests, stories of solidarity can come as a bit of comfort. One Florida mother sought to ease the nerves of her young daughter who was distraught over the uncertainty of recent events surrounding the Black Lives Matter movement by reaching out to a non-emergency line. Two officers from the Orange County Sheriff’s Office (OCSO) went to the family’s home to teach and comfort the girl about the recent protests and about Florida police. Toni, the mother to 11-year-old Leilani, called the non-emergency Orange County line in the hopes that someone could provide some relief for her daughter. Since the death of George Floyd, protests have cropped up across the nation. Seeing the news had struck Leilani with a deep sense of sadness and nervousness for the safety of her family. On the recorded audio posted to OSCO’s Facebook this afternoon, Toni identified herself to Ariana Gallegos, an OCSO Emergency Communications Specialist, as being African-American and a single parent.
