10-Year-Old Saves Sister From Abduction By Sex Offender

A ten-year-old boy in Ireland has saved his sister from being abducted. The boy jumped onto a moving SUV to save his 12-year-old sister from a convicted sex offender.

The children, along with a second brother, were playing outside near the Cullahill village when a man asked for directions to a priest's home, The Irish Independent reports. The man grabbed the girl, but her heroic brother jumped through the driver's window and punched him. While the driver was distracted, his sister escaped from the car.

Police were able to locate and arrest the 34-year-old suspect. The Irish Independent notes that in addition to being a sex offender, the man has robbed priests' homes in the past. In 2004, he was sentenced to four years in jail for abducting a 14-year-old girl."
