Ever so often a feel good story burst onto the scene. That’s what we have here when a 7 yr old boy, Carlos, took matters into his own hands when his family was threatened by arm intruders that broke into his home.
From ABC News:
Most 7-year-olds only dream of being a superhero. But a Norwalk, Calif. boy identified only as Carlos is being hailed as a real one after acting quickly when three gunmen burst through an unlocked door in his house.
The intruders allegedly threatened Carlos' mom and dad but he grabbed his little sister and a phone, hid in the bathroom and called 911.
"There's some guys," he said. "They're going to kill my mom and dad, can you come please. ... Can you come really fast? PLEASE, PLEASE."
Los Angeles County sheriff's dispatcher Monique Patino called in the cavalry, assuring Carlos the police were on their way. 
He kept the phone line open even when the gunmen evidently discovered him and his sister.But it turned out the gunmen had met their match. When Carlos bravely told them he had 911 on the line, the intruders fled. No one was hurt and nothing was stolen.
Nice work, kid!
