A South Carolina first-grader named Cameron was placed in a dire situation when he found his diabetic father collapsed on the bathroom floor of his home.
The quick-thinking 7-year-old grabbed his dad’s cell phone to call 911, but he didn’t know the passcode to get into the locked screen. He then rushed to the neighbors, but both of them were gone. Knowing his father desperately needed help, Cameron’s last recourse was to make the 5-mile trek to his grandma’s by bicycle.
As the brave 7-year-old pedaled furiously down the highway, he was spotted by his old first-grade teacher, Keller Sutherland. With cars zipping by him on the dangerous highway, Sutherland felt compelled to turn around.
At the time, she did not recognize Cameron; she just saw a young boy who looked like he needed her help.

He told Sutherland he was on his way to his grandma's to get help.){kind=link}
