An 8-year-old Ohio boy is being called a hero after he saved himself and his older sister from a kidnapping attempt.

Chance Blue and Skylar Weaver were waiting in the back seat as their great-grandmother, Nita Coburn, dropped off a relative at a hospital in Middletown, Ohio, on Thursday afternoon. About 10 seconds after Nita left the running car, the children began to scream when a man jumped into the driver’s seat and started to speed off.

Here’s the full story:

Chance is indeed a hero and a great example for many kids on what to do if faced with terror such as this incident. We’re so happy these beautiful children are safe. Now, you’re officially in the know!
