Yep he is one amazing kid. He told the dispatcher to bring lots of cops and soldiers too. He is a hero. At the press conference today, he wanted to set the record straight about the screaming in the background, saying it was not him that was screaming, but his little sister.
The intruders allegedly threatened Carlos’ mom and dad but he grabbed his little sister and a phone, hid in the bathroom and called 911.
“There’s some guys,” he said. “They’re going to kill my mom and dad, can you come please. ... Can you come really fast? PLEASE, PLEASE.”
Los Angeles County sheriff’s dispatcher Monique Patino called in the cavalry, assuring Carlos the police were on their way.
He kept the phone line open even when the gunmen evidently discovered him and his sister.
But it turned out the gunmen had met their match. When Carlos bravely told them he had 911 on the line, the intruders fled. No one was hurt and nothing was stolen.
