Boy asleep in car, car jacking wakes him up

A boy kidnapped in a stolen car was helped to safety by his father and a cell phone. Seven-year-old Mike Roberts was asleep in the backseat when his mother's car was stolen Thursday in Pensacola.

Police said the carjacker's speeding and fast moves woke up the young boy. The boy begged him to slow down and that's when the carjacker ditched the car and took off.

Roberts' frantic father tried to track down his son by calling his wife's cell phone, which happened to be still in the car.

"And it dawned on me, I didn't know where I was going and I called her on her cell phone. My son answered the cell phone. And I said, 'Michael, is this you?' and he said 'Yes, dad, this is me. Come and get me, come to me,'" Michael Roberts Sr. said.

The boy’s father told his son to get out of the car and find help. A maintenance worker at a school near where the car was ditched stayed with the boy until his dad arrived. Police were still looking for the carjacker. Article here.
