His friend may still have been conscious, or had a movable injury; or possibly there was no one nearby to flag down for help. The indignation should be towards the hit & run people, and the people who might have seen this kid carrying his injured friend, but failed to stop and help, or even bother to call 911. Man, this just makes me hate Houston even more. The drivers just seem so mean when I have to go through there. There's not enough information to determine whether this was 'stupid heroism' or not.

Everyone seems to keep forgetting that this kid is 9 years old. 9! He did what he thought was best in his situation, which was to get his friend home, who had just been hit by an SUV to his mom. If I was 9 years old and saw my friend get hit by a car in front of me I probably would have done the same thing. Yes, we NOW know that moving an injured person is a bad idea. But when you're 9 there's really not much to think about when you're friend has gotten hurt. Thank you Chandrielle!

Seriously, Edward? He's NINE. How would he know not to move someone? It's not exactly one of those things they teach you in school. Stupid heroism? Seriously, Edward? He's NINE.

And that is seriously screwed up for those people to not even bother to pretend they cared if the boy was ok... they better get thrown in jail and beat down!

I hope they get a lot of jail time. As someone on the original article said, people in jail aren't too friendly to those that hurt children.
