Two women saved an eight-year-old boy from being killed by his father who was attempting to cut off his arms as part of a human sacrifice in a cemetery.
Jaymisha and Corey grabbed the badly injured boy after his forearms had been slashed open.
Joseph Ramirez was later tackled by a security guard at the cemetery where he had allegedly tried to kill his son.
The 30-year-old told police his dead grandmother told him to sacrifice his son.
The injured boy was recovering in hospital with knife wounds to his forearms but police said he owes his life to the two have-a-go heroes.
Pires and Granberry, both 21, were at the Mount Hope cemetery in San Diego, California, to visit the grave of Granberry's godson.
Pires told the San Diego Union Tribune she confronted Ramirez, begging him to release the boy.
'My motherly instincts kicked in when I saw him hurting that little boy,' said Pires, who has children aged six and two. 'It was a blur. I just wanted him to stop.'
Pires said Ramirez kept saying, 'We're going to Jesus, we're going to Jesus.'
Granberry said she grabbed the injured boy and Ramirez's two other children, who are both toddlers.
Granberry wrapped a T-shirt around one of the arms of the boy, who was bleeding badly.
Ramirez was tackled by Dana Fontenot, a 60-year-old security guard who was on his third day of working at Mount Hope.
As well as slashing his son's arms Ramirez also slashed his own arms.
When police arrived at the Mount Hope Cemetery in San Diego, California, they took the boy to Rady Children's Hospital for treatment.
Ramirez was taken to a hospital and will be charged with child abuse and assault with a deadly weapon on his release.

Jesus wept.
Not going to Jesus.
**Ramirez was taken to a hospital and will be charged with child abuse and assault with a deadly weapon on his release.**
Release?? Why would he be released?
“Release?? Why would he be released?”
Released from the hospital.
release from the hospital, not custody. Consider that it will be the cops that will be checking him out and bringing the wheelchair down to a squad car.
Yep the boy was saved by two women. I guess this security guard who tackled a mad man with a knife had nothing to do with the rescue.
Typical sensationalist Liberal clap-trap head line that diminishes men’s roll in society as protectors of woman and children.
The perp is probably Mexican. It sounds like that Mexican death cult, Santa Muerte, which he has confused in his mind with Christianity. Most likely drunk as well, or hooked on drugs. Clearly an Obama voter.
Get serious! Are you trying to say that these women were not very brave and heroes? Get over your hatred of women and allow them the praise they deserve. You sound like an absolute jerk.

The son would have gone to Jesus - the "dad", probably not...
He’s still weeping.
All cultures are equal...
The security guard certainly played a pivotal role in tackling the perp. I’m assuming maybe the women alerted him?
I’d say that the point is not that the women didn’t act heroically, and help save the children, but that the article fails to give the security guard due credit for what he did.
It sounds as if the boy owes his life to all three of them, each doing a necessary part.
Did you even read what I wrote?
My point is that the press wrote the headline that suggests that the women by themselves rescued the children.
The headline follows the formula of the age that seeks to diminish the roll of men in society. If that is not obvious to you, you have been living in a knothole for 50 years.
Nowhere in my post did I suggest that the women were not brave or instrumental in saving those children. My post dealt completely and wholly on the headline.
This is truly the end times.... The Demons are here.
“The 30-year-old told police his dead grandmother told him to sacrifice his son.”
This isn’t a ‘cultural’ issue. This is insanity, pure and simple. He needs to be locked up in an asylum, preferably forever.
