This is a scary story you may have seen on ABC News. If not take a listen to this 911 call: Boy's 911 Call Thwarts Attackers - ABC News  |

Everyone that has children should try to train their children to do this. Target practice wouldn't hurt, either. That little man deserves anything he wants! |

I saw it on Fox. That kid is brave and he did right. The family is lucky the bad guys left after the kid told them he called 911. __________________ From C3Shooter:

Man this kid really kept his cool and was smart about the situation. Good thing the robbers didn't try to start a hostage situation. __________________ S&W .40 Mod 4006

Amazing kid, I can only hope to train my children to be that calm and brave. |

I can't tell you the (large) number of times I have knocked on a stranger's door (it was my job to do so) which was opened by a kid who said come in, I'll get them," when I asked if their parents were home. I'd say about 1/3 of the parents were a little annoyed at the kids, but also about 2/3 of the parents seemingly saw nothing at all wrong with their kids opening the door to a total stranger. |

Whenever a kid opens the door for me like that I tell them to close and lock the door while they get their parents. Then I tell their parents why I told the kid to do it. Most parents think twice after being told what COULD happen. |
