A frightened boy dialed the police, whispering that his parents were in trouble—before the line went dead.
Officers rushed to his home, where the child opened the door and silently pointed down the hall. Inside, they found his parents bound and gagged, a masked intruder standing over them with a knife.
Confronted, the man dropped the weapon and was arrested. The boy’s parents were freed, shaken but alive.
The officer told him softly, “You’re very brave. Without your call, this could’ve ended differently.”
The kidnapper underestimated a child—but that courage saved his family.
