A brave young son saved his mother and risked his own safety as he protected her from three masked attackers. Deonte Turner, 12, was with his mother, Barbara Whitehead, as they returned from her sister's house in the early morning hours of Tuesday, Dailymail reported
As they pulled into the driveway of their Detroit home, three men suddenly appeared and began cursing at Whitehead and demanding she give them money.
That is when young Deonte stepped in to protect his mother, and one of the men stabbed him in the arm.
'I told them we didn't have any damn money, but he just kept asking for money. And he kept talking really rough and in vulgar language,' Whitehead told the Detroit Free Press.
'And my son, he didn't like them talking to his mom like that.'
That is when Deonte stepped in to intervene.
'He just told them don't talk to my mom like that. And then he saw it coming because he threw his arm up,' Whitehead said of the knife. 'He was like, "My arm, my arm."
The men ran off immediately after, and Whitehead, 44, rushed her son to the hospital where he was treated and released later that morning. 'He didn't cry. My son didn't cry,' said Whitehead.
'He was like, "Is Mom OK?"'
