Here’s some news that supports letting your kids watch TV and movies. At least the kind that depict escaping from captivity.
Clay Moore’s mother and stepfather don’t want to think about what might have happened if they hadn’t made him repair his ripped school uniform jacket instead of buying him a new one.A safety pin from the torn jacket’s sleeve _ and the 13-year-old’s composure in frightening conditions _ freed him after a gunman kidnapped him, duct-taped his wrists and left him deep in thick woods 20 miles from home, the boy’s stepfather said Tuesday.
Clay put the pin in his mouth, picked away at the tape and walked away hours after he was taken. He found a farmworker in a field and called his stepfather, Steve Kelle, from the man’s phone, “as calm as if he was calling from a friend’s house,” Kelle said.
This story is amazing. What an amazing kid.
