I couldn't find any posts about this so here goes
I am very impressed with this lad's actions and surely he deserves to be badass of the month?
CHICAGO (AP) - Eleven-year-old Luis Reteguin remembers jumping on his mother's knife-wielding attacker in the dead of night and screaming, "Let go of my mom!"
He and his mother spoke over the weekend about the attack at their Chicago apartment.
The boy says he wasn't playing hero when ran to his mother's room after he heard her scream around 1 a.m. Friday. He says he just wanted to protect his mom.
After slashing the boy and his 40-year-old mother, Susana Reteguin, the intruder fled when Luis managed to grab a phone and dial police.
Both son and mother suffered knife wounds to their faces and other parts of their body. They were released from hospital Saturday.
Police say they haven't made an arrest in the case.
There's a video via the news story on the link where the lad describes grabbing a knife and going for the attacker. He also repeatedly kicked him in the face to try to save his mum.
