FRANKLIN, Tenn. (WTVF) — If you've ever worried about whether or not you are installing your car seat correctly, the Franklin Police Department is hosting an event that can help.

On Wednesday, May 1, they will be at High Hopes Development Center. Police officers and firefighters will be there to help install car sears and make sure the ones you have already installed are safe and set up correctly.

The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration says that 46% of car sears and boosters are used incorrectly, and fixing this can reduce risk of injury by 71 to 82% for children.

This is a beautiful story of chosen family, proving a father figure doesn't have to have biology in common to make a difference in a child's life. The story of De'Andre and Alex will remind you that our relationships help determine the course of our lives. And that being supportive of someone - through a meal, a shared experience or even swim lessons can make all the difference.
