i think it's great that the kid had enough sense to do this instead of say, throwing a tantrum. he kicked that robberers ass in his own little way. not sure why there has to be a fixation over whether he should be classified as a hero or not, though. i also have to say that i'm not the least bit impressed by the alleged performance of the parents.

kids lie and manipulate all the time, but there's a difference between expressing insecurity and being asked a question by a large, scary man with some sort of weapon that obviously posed a very real danger, even to a child. i would honestly have been more worried if the kid had actually come up with and executed a cover story.
