12 Year-Old Burglary Victim Dials 911

A 12 year-old Warren (Ohio) boy came out of the bathroom of his home, and came face-to-face with three burglars. They forced him to lie down while they loaded up their car with items from the home. As they fled, the boy jumped up and obtained a good description of the car, and then dialed 911. In a remarkable opening line, he told the dispatcher, “‘I’m not in any danger right now, but it’s urgent.” He described the car and suspects, and a neighbor provided a direction of flight. Within 15 minutes officers spotted the vehicle, pulled it over and arrested the men. Property from the home was inside the car.

    I find that incredibly cool that a 12 y/o Boy could be that calm and level headed in the heat of the moment. I have spoken with people twice…Heck…Three times his age that can not be this calm on 911. Good Job Kid!
