When I hear stories like this I breathe a sigh of relief. Imagine if these were your children?
We certainly don’t want our kids to go through this. Nevertheless we’d like to know that if they did, they would respond as wisely as these two Tennessee sisters.
Heck, I’d hope they even respond as innocently as 10-year-old Willie Myrick, who sung gospel songs for 3 hours after being kidnapped. He sung so persistently that the kidnappers let him free!
The siblings, 13 and 16, from Nashville chose to remain anonymous for their safety. When the sisters were home alone one morning they realized there were burglars in their house.
Quickly, they ran into the bathroom and hid in the cabinet. Then they called 911.
“They’re in the house,” the older sister whispered to a dispatcher. “Please hurry.” In one terrifying moment, the burglar hid in the same bathroom from the police.
“He came back in here, came in this room with us and locked himself,” the 16-year-old told WKRN Nashville. “He managed to get the door shut and locked himself in here with us.”
Officers credit the quick-thinking sisters for catching the two thieves and, of course, for saving themselves.
One of the burglars tried to flee the house on foot, but police quickly captured him. The other drove away but was later tracked down by a police dog.
See these two young women’s brave act and SHARE if you hope your kids would be as savvy!
