We hear about the CSI effect whenever a criminal evades capture or successful prosecution after employing tips learned from TV crime shows like CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. Igniting debate about just what should be revealed for realism in entertainment purposes, as opposed to protecting society at large from criminals who may use these shows for malignant educational purposes. A valid concern for which I have no answer. Freedom of speech exists for a reason and should never be forgotten. And it does seem no matter what we do, there are always those who are one step ahead with nefarious intentions.
That’s why one 8 year-old boy’s heroic actions to save his 4 year-old sister from an attempted abduction last Friday, were all the more special. How absolutely great (and a little sad too) that he knew to scratch the attacker so he could get a DNA sample to help police and the prosecution if they catch the man. “It’s called DNA and I saw it on NCIS on TV…with my father,” the boy said. I love his further description of DNA in a Channel 4 Action News interview with Shannon Perrine, “DNA is something that you get, to get someone to jail that did something that they shouldn’t have.” Children have such a perfect way of getting right to the point.
Perhaps there’s no need, given the boy and his family have very publicly spoken in a number of interviews, but I hesitate to use the boy’s name. I also feel better about including a photo of the TV show NCIS that inspired this clever 8 year-old’s DNA collection, than I do a photo of the boy himself.

According to this young hero’s mother, he saw a “man literally grab her from behind [who] was holding her and she was kicking and screaming and he pulled her into his vehicle.” A brutal and scary collection of quotes to come out of such a young mouth: “I screamed because of the fact someone was trying to pull her in the car and I went down there and beat the crap out of this guy…I just kicked and I punched and I hit, and I just kept doing it…[The man] kept grabbing her, and he kept pulling her and kept trying to put her back in the car…I did everything I could to get her back out of the car.”
The phrase ‘the innocence of a child’ seems so far removed from reality just now. But thankfully neither child was injured in the attempted abduction, and this child’s lack of innocence may have very well saved his sister from untold horrors. Score one for the good guys. And score one for TV too. Thanks to a fictional crime show, a real crime was stopped.
