A 7-year-old boy quietly dialed 911 before a man’s voice cut in: “Give me the phone!” Then silence.
Officers rushed to the home and found the boy at the door, calm but determined. Pointing down the hall, he whispered: “My parents… they’re there.”
Inside, his mom and dad were tied up, a knife-wielding intruder standing over them. With guns drawn, police ordered him to drop the weapon. After a tense pause, he surrendered.
The parents, shaken but safe, clung to their son. An officer told him: “You’re very brave. That call saved your family.”
One small act of courage made all the difference.
