Charleston, West Virginia police report that a nine-year-old boy prevented an attempted carjacking in order to save his younger siblings.
Malik Medford was waiting in his mother’s car at a convenience store with his 3-year-old, 19-month-old and 4-month-old brothers when a man, who has been identified as Jonathan Martin, allegedly attempted to swipe the car from the his mother.
But for Malik’s quick thinking, he might have gotten away with the car, the boy pulled the keys from the ignition and hid them behind his back. He said that he “didn’t want the man to take his brothers and possibly kill them or others in a crash.”
In an attempt to get the keys, Martin is said to have slammed his head against the door. He then ran and tripped and was apprehended by police when they arrived on the scene. Martin is said to have confessed to trying to steal the car and apologized.

So, the nine year old hid the keys behind his back. The dangerous man then took them back. What, he didn’t? Why? He wasn’t in the car? Then why didn’t he open the door and get it? What, it was locked already?
Well then what god damn difference did this nine year old hiding the keys actually do?
None at all.
So much for heroism. Just another bloody attentionwhore.
