In Baton Rouge, Louisiana, a 10-year-old boy is being credited with stopping a man who was raping his mother. The boy apparently struggled with the man and hit him, causing the suspect to stop the attack.

The East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff’s Office said Daniel Hinton was arrested and charged with second degree rape. What this boy did probably isn’t the wisest course of action, but in this situation, it seems to have worked out well in the end.
