A 7-year-old saves father while driving. The father who is a diabetic started acting strangely while his 7 -year-old and 5-year-old were seat belted in the backseat of the car. The 7-year-old (Natalie) realized that something was wrong and sprung into action and jumped in the front seat. Natalie grabbed her father's cell phone and called 911. The 911 operator stayed on the phone with the girl until the police were able to locate the car. Another driver called into 911 and reported that a car was moving erratically. The driver was able to give the location and Natalie's father's car did come to a stop at an intersection. The father was able to bring the children to safety even during a diabetic shock state.

A man plunges into action to save a boy's life in a frozen lake. Four young friends fell into a frozen pond. A man heard his own children screaming that someone fell into the ice. When the man Robert George ran to the location he was only wearing a t-shirt and sweat pants. He witnessed two of the kids far out, but the other two were closer. Some adults were trying to throw a rope to them. One of the boys who was further out was screaming that he couldn't feel his legs. George said "I couldn't just stand there and tied a rope around his waist and plunged into the water and saved the boy." All the children were rescued to safety and learned a valuable lesson to listen to their parents when they tell them to stay off the lake.
