Florida mom Angie Padron never expected to find herself in a life or death situation at the Tom Thumb gas station, but that is exactly what happened.
She was outside when a pair of armed attackers pounded on and tried to enter her car, in which her two children were sitting. Terrified, she screamed for them to go away, but one of the men went ahead and got into the driver’s seat. It was at this time that her maternal instincts kicked into high gear.
Even though the men had weapons and looked extremely dangerous, she marched over to her car and yanked the intruder out. Not only did she eject him from the car, she managed to remove his face mask.
It was at this point that he and his accomplice decided things were getting too complicated and made a mad dash for it. In the meantime, however, because she had exposed the man’s face, the security cameras got a good shot of the carjacker.
As a result, the police were able to track the attackers down, along with the man driving them, and arrest them soon afterward. Padron surprised herself with her courage, but she followed her instincts to do whatever she could to protect her children.
Now they will always have an amazing story to tell about the time that their mom rescued them from a truly scary situation. Big props to this woman for her quick thinking and bravery.
Clearly her children are in good hands!
