A five-year-old boy dressed in a Spider-Man suit became a real superhero in Brazil when he saved a baby girl from her burning home. While playing in his back garden with a friend, Riquelme Maciel spotted smoke coming out of the wooden house's windows and ran to tell the baby's mother, Lucilene dos Santos. But Ms Santos was too afraid to enter the blaze, so it was down to young Maciel to step in and save the day - he rushed into the burning house and grabbed baby Andrieli from her cradle. The Fire Department Chief Jose de Macedo praised the boy's bravery, and much like his hero Spider-Man, Maciel became the talk of the town. His face made it to the cover of all the local newspapers and he no longer needs the red and blue costume to be recognised. Maciel said he is now dreaming of becoming a fire-fighter so he can save more lives. © Independent Television News Limited 2007. All rights reserved.
lol good on the mother. well, im too afraid to go back in there to get my baby... i guess il just send this 5 year old to do it.
LOL....omg...yeahhhh....what are u gonna tell ur kid later.....well mum left u in a burning house... i really WANTED to save u....but....this 5y/o kid insisted to save u instead...=/
Wow, a mother just ditch her baby. She was actually given a chance save the baby unlike, most cases. Good Job Spidy-Boy!
Nice work Spiderman!! Sure have more guts then the mother, who would be a lot older then a little 5 year old boy
awwww, that kid is so brave! i wud give him a medal man! that mother left her child?! DAMNNNNNN, that kid best not find out when she grows up...
damn what a sucks to be that woman's child, she would actually let a 5 year old rush in to a fire, adults should never let a kid rush into a fire no matter whose child it is. Anyways spiderboy is brave as hell for a kid.
u have to remember that kids are smaller, so can run in and out of the house quickly without getting hurt...plus really dont know about dangers of fire....
Hard to believe a mother would be scared to save her own child, she should be ashamed that a 5 year old child saved her baby. If that kid can do something like that than it wasn't as dangerous as she thought.
A mother too scared to go in and get her child out. Another hero save the day. Great way to end this story.
