Detective goes from man's man to family man 

Real heroes dont wear capes, just huge hearts. You Sir, are a hero

Way to go, Detective Mook. Family isn't about biology - it's about love. Congrats to you and the boys!

This is a beautiful story. Three really fortunate people. Two with a great role model, and one who probably won't admit that he is one.

Mr Mook, I live in Singapore and read what you did to these two boys and was so touched by your magnanimous sacrifice. You have changed the course of these boys forever...they have a mentor, a dad whom they can depend on and a bright future. I am an educator and from the bottom of my heart, thank you for making a difference to these two lives.

That is what you call a real man!

The world needs more people like this guy!

God bless you brother. No child should suffer. God has a place for you when the time comes.

Nice job officer your a blessing to earth...amen

Someone please tell me that foster home was shut down. When a 15 year old boy cries because of his living conditions you know there's serious issues there.

I Love this story..This Detective Gave these boys The QUALITY they deserved..... Being ADOPTED MYSELF..IT JUST BRINGS ME TO TEARS TO SEE THESE BOYS HAVE THE LIFE THEY DESERVE... THEY HAD PARENTS THAT GAVE THEM LIFE..AND A SINGLE HANDED DAD THAT GAVE THEM QUALITY LIFE!!! IM SERIOUSLY SO HAPPY FOR THESE BOYS TO HAVE SUCH A GREAT DAD THAT HAS SO MUCH TO OFFER ..AND OBVIOUSLY SO MUCH LOVE!!!! MY BEST WISHES.. AND MY LOVE TO THE THREE..ENJOY EVERY SINGLE DAY...MOVE FORWARD AND UP....YOU ARE BLESSINGS TO EACH OTHER..GOD BLESS!♥️♥️♥️

It’s hard to pick just one but this is my favorite OTR with Steve episode. So freaking cool.

This made me cry tears of joy:,)

Who the hell is cutting onions in here?!?!?

I pride myself on being a heterosexual man that also carries a gun and I don't appreciate having tears snatched out of my eyes without my permission. I loved this story!!! God bless them!

I love this story! Thanks God for finding these young men a forever family!

Odds are this story will be a movie, hopefully sooner than later. I'd watch it.

Great story, may good things keep coming to this family!

Damn good man much respect to him !

I'm happy for these kids ..

"now go cut my grass" like a boss

One adage that has stuck with me forever, you can tell a person by how they treat animals and kids. Love Steve Hartman!

Absolutely wonderful.....what a great DAD he is and wonderful sons as well......

This story should be made into a movie!!

Waw this story made my day awsome and remind me to thank God for people like this man still apears in this earth.

Just another reason why Pittsburgh has the best people ever! Another reason for me to be proud to call Pittsburgh home!

A real man. So awesome.

All the negativity in recent years with cops, this story right here goes to show not all cops are bad. Thank you Jack for taking these boys in and giving them a life they desperately needed. Man I couldn't even imagine where these boys would be now if Jack hadn't went out and looked for them when they stopped coming to the gym...I don't even want to think of the outcome if Jack hadn't found them.

We need more people like him! God Bless your new family!!

One, This is awesome!! Great story, kids and Officer/Man and Two, Who down-rates this?

He is feeding them well God Bless Him

Bless this man and his sons

What a dude. I don’t get the masculinity posturing the story leads with but he’s clearly an amazing person. He saw something that needed doing and he did it. It’s clear how much he cares. The kids seem equally brilliant. What a fantastic family. X

Really God Bless Them.

God bless this man!!

That is amazing!

They actually do report good stories. Not often, but they do.

This is great!

Congratulations to all 3 of you.

Best of luck guys, all three of you.

I love this story! I watch this video every time it pops up. When the older boy said that first night was the best night’s sleep he’s ever had, I lost it.

So heartbreaking & yet so beautiful at the same time. I would give this man a big hug if I didn't think he would knock me on my butt for doing so.

Great job Detective God bless you and your son's

One of my new heros.

God Bless Mr. Mook!!

Those kids are so cute! Thank God he took them in.

My new hero... Mook Man!

What a great man.

heartwarming 💙💙💙

Love this ❤

Oh man the allergies, they're making my eyes tear up.

What an awesome man! Can't believe he is a committed bachelor though.

OUTSTANDING!!!!

What a genuine man ❤

God bless that man

just awesome

True Detective

What a great guy. Lucky kids.

All the Way, brother.

Awesome!!! ❤❤❤

Good for them. The boys. How does the police department get any credit? No Pat's on the back for what's expected. If you have the means, help.

Beautiful

Humanity restored!!!

Yall sure this is not a movie!!!!! What a story!!!!

Josh Mook is now set to become an olympic amateur boxer.

How one person CAN make a difference.

Beautiful story

Nice guy and great story.

That's a real man.

Very good mann like this.

Oh my sweet boys I wish I can send you all the love I have!

His yinzer accent reminds me if home. Great job Sir

Not every superhero wears a cape.

Cool. Go story

Way to go Jack

For some reason i always like the intro to this video..

I promise the oldest one is going to be a cop. I see it clear as day 🥰😍

Respect

If you don’t like kids, don’t even think to become a foster parent.

Am I the only one you noticed the 82nd airborne division patch on his shoulder???

ALL THE WAY!! 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸

it is a horror when parents abuse kids...but it is even a greater horror if foster parents do it!! those who choose to help those kids...

“I slept the best I ever did that night” Heartbreaking

So how are the boys doing now? The older one, I hope, has a good job after completing college. And the younger one must be getting ready to go to college.

Gotta be the vidalias.

that is really inspiring mr. mook. what i want to know is , was that dubious foster family taken off the children services foster homes???!!!!! or in typical children svcs style, let them get away with abuse & neglect until its too late again???!!!

Foster parents should be arrested

I would like to get in touch with Officer (Dad) Jack Mook. Can anyone help me?

How do we have 7 degenerates that do not like this?

How does this have even one dislike?

Can I get married to this man ☺️

I want to marry this man!
