Brave Little Boy Saves His Mother’s Life

COLUMBUS, Miss. (WCBI) – When minutes, even seconds count it’s difficult for adults to spring into action.

But not for 3-year-old Ethan Craddieth.

On January 27, Ethan’s mother suffered a seizure while home with Ethan and his 2-month-old little bother.

Family members say Ethan sprung into action grabbing his others cell phone and calling everyone he could to save her life.

Thanks to Ethan’s call, Officer John Tulipan, who was patrolling the area, was flagged down to assist in the situation.

They were able to save Ethan’s mother. Tulipan says because of Ethan’s fast actions he had to get him something for a job we done.

“I brought Mr. Ethan his gift bag and showed him what everything did. It had a little police kit, it had a little radio on there and a little badge and a little I.D. holder for him where he could put his picture on the I.D. and put his name in there and make up a little badge number for him,” says Tulipan.

That was just the first part of Ethan’s gift. He also got a chance to hop in the police cruiser and shine the popular blue lights.
