The parents of a 7-year-old boy with cerebral palsy are crediting their heroic son for saving their lives. Hearing an ominous beeping sound while his family slept, the young boy, who is wheelchair-bound, crawled into his parents’ bedroom to warn them.

As it turned out, the beeping was coming from their carbon monoxide detector. The house had a gas leak, originating from the stove, and no one was aware of it.
