A kid with a good head on her shoulders

Bravest 9 Year Old Ever Has Her Own Mom Arrested
A 9-year-old girl walked into a bank in Michigan the other day with a note. No, not that kind of note (although bankers are on high alert for stick up notes in this economy). This little girl's note said her mom was way too drunk to drive, and the way she saw it, she should not get inside the car. She wanted the tellers to help, and they swung right into action. Cops were called.

Kudos to this girl. As the blogger points out, she may have saved her life, her mother's, or any number of strangers endangered by her mother's behaviour. It must have been really hard for her, but she didn't let fear stop her from doing the right thing.
