This Ohio 8-year-old's quick thinking saved him and his sister from an attempted kidnapping

An 8-year-old Ohio boy is being called a hero after he saved himself and his older sister from a kidnapping attempt.

The terrifying incident happened Thursday in Middletown, about 30 miles northeast of Cincinnati. The boy, only identified by the police as Chance, and his sister, identified as Skylar, were sitting in the backseat of their grandmother's car as she took a woman to a hospital emergency room. The grandmother, Nita Coburn, stepped out of the car to help the woman into the emergency room. About 10 seconds later a man jumped into the driver's seat and drove off.
