Crime Little Girl Stands Up to Stranger with Meat Cleaver

[Scary Nachos]

For 5-year-old Chloe Edwards, a strung-out stranger with a meat cleaver just wasn't that scary.

Alerted by noises at 2AM, the little British girl walked into her kitchen, where she found 18-year-old Dean Affleck attempting a burglary.

"Put my daddy's keys down!" Chloe yelled, unfazed by the sight of a stranger in the middle of the night. The startled intruder pointed a meat cleaver at the girl and told her to go back to bed. At the same time, the trespassing teen accidentally smashed a glass, alerting Chloe's parents. Mark Edwards, Chloe's father, eventually punched Affleck to the ground, and police were called.

Affleck was later given a 3 1/2-year sentence for the August crime.

Chloe's mother, Rachel, who was scheduled to start chemotherapy the day of the crime, said, "It was an awful experience. As soon as I saw he had a knife, I was terrified."

Yet, Rachel, now in remission for breast cancer, said she was proud of her brave daughter.

"She kept saying afterwards, 'I told him, Daddy, I told him to put your keys down, didn't I?'"

I can imagine the jail scene:

"What are you in for?"

"A little girl caught me when I was breaking in"

This isn't a report. A report is where some company/government department has done some research and published their findings. This should probably go under the general tag, no?

[SouLEDGE]

was thinking of a little girl hacking up a burgler... oh well...
Maybe next time he'll know that a gun is more effective than a meat cleaver

Is this girl related to James Bond?

No, more likely related to that dude who ripped out that leapord's tongue.

Bond is fictional, remember

Same. I'm impressed, she's probably gonna be playing rugby or football when she grows up . Wouldn't want to get in a fight with her.

She's got more balls than I do. Jeeze, I probably would have ran (then called the cops from my cell).

Haha. Great story :thup:

 

[Samael88]

Is it just me that think about the name of the burglar
Affleck? Was it Ben or Casey?

Kids of that age are just to cute "I told him, Daddy, I told him to put your keys down, didn't I?", I for one would not want to handle that kid when she enters the "I can do it myself"-phase

It wouldn't be as cool that way.
