10-Year-Old Hangs from Moving Vehicle, Saves Sister from Convicted Sex Offender

Everybody should have a little bother as brave and fantastic as this!

According to Irish Independent, a 10-year-old boy Ireland is being hailed as a hero after demonstrating nerves of steel and quick reflexes by saving his sister from being abducted off of the side of the road by a convicted sex offender.

The 34-year-old man pulled up next to the girl and her two brothers playing in the village of Cullahill in County Laois and feigned that he needed directions to the local priest’s home. (He also reportedly likes to rob church poor boxes.)
But when the well-known convict, who was out on bail for robbery, grabbed the 12-year-old girl and tried to get away, the boy lunged through the driver-side window in the SUV and swung at the piece of sh*t trying to abduct his sister. (His cape must have been fluttering out behind him.)
As the would-be-kidnapper began to drive away, the boy didn’t let up, creating enough of a diversion for the girl to escape by jumping from the moving vehicle.
As you’d expect, the family is very proud of their awesome boy for saving his sister from the clutches of a convicted child sex offender. And presumably he’ll get all the cake and ice cream he wants for the rest of his life.
Local authorities launched a manhunt after the attack on Wednesday morning and took the man into custody. If he ever finds his way out of prison again I hope there’s someone as courageous as the 10-year-old boy to stop him in his tracks.
