9 year old foils Carjackers plans

Often when anyone performs as this little boy did it is because their overriding concern is to save someone else, in this case his siblings. They have no thought for their own safety but just what must be done. This is what he did and did it well. In this case the fact it was only a nine year old boy makes it even more unbelievable. This boy deserves an honer for doing this. As for his mother? In order for her to be charged she had to have been very neglectful. The number of children and their ages would have made taking them in a very difficult thing. Not taking her keys with her was truly the biggest mistake. You can better believe she will not do that again.

That little boy is very brave . I'm sure he did not even think twice but just did not want anything to happen to his little brothers. He is too young to be left alone himself and really too young to be left with such young children and so many of them. I know it is a pain to load and unload all those kids but still anyone leaving their kids for even a few seconds is taking a huge chance. Just watch the news and see how quickly kids are nabbed. Why just this morning, some man tried to abduct some young boy on his way to school. His mother was just a few yards behind him! Talk to any parent that has lost a child because they turned their back for "just a minute". A minute is all it takes for a tragic accident or an abduction. As for charging this mother....she should be charged and her punishment should be to watch stories on other parents that were not so lucky. She should have to go thru parenting classes at her own expense. I know she did not deliberately put them in harms way but there is a reason why these laws are in place. She broke the law and she acted irresponsible as a parent.

This is a very good story of a boy who was brave,I do not know where he got his courage from and I do not know if I would have been so brave in that situation,I think the boy had God on his side,so the carjacker could not have hurt the little boy,because God protects his children,and I know we would not leave our children in the car,and yes I do think the mama should be charged because that is child abuse no one should ever leave a child in a car,and I plan on reading the full article later on when I have more time but from what I read it is a powerful story,I love you.

I heard about this yesterday. What a brave boy. I'm so happy he had the guts to do something and not let the guy drive away with them all in the car. I think the mom should never take a chance leaving the kids in the car. This is not 1950's or 60's. There are just to many crazy desperate people out there looking to do harm to others.

Carelessness breads accidents. This is an eye-opener for all of us. Always be very carefull with our children specially. As for the child a big salute to him. He must get a bravery award. God must have prompted him to act that way.

Shouldn't leave kids in the car period, too many kidnappers out there, they would love to get the kid more than the car.

THIS BOY WAS VERY BRAVE AND ALSO HS SURVIVAL INSTINCT KICKED IN. He HAS PROBABLY HAS SOME RSPONSIBILTY OF WATCHING HIS YOUNGER BROTHERS. I DO NOT THINK THAT THEY MOTHER SHOLD BE CHARGED. SHE RAN INTO THE SHOP TO BUY DRINK AND HER NINE YEAR OLD IS PRFECTLY CAPABLE OF LOOKING AFTER HS YOUNGER SIBLINGS. IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME OUT HERE. I CAN SO UNDERSTAND TH MOTHER ASKING HIM TO LOOK AFTER THE OTHERS WHILST SHE DASHED INTO THE STORE. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN SO TIME OCNSUMING TO GET HEM ALL OUT ETC. SHE SHOULD NOT BE CHARGED. A VERY BRAVE BOY - SHE MUST BE SO PROUD OF HIM.
