And this is why new phones and smartphones should have a torchlight feature or at least an app for that. You see, a kid from Australia just saved his family’s life with the help of his Nintendo DS screen light. That’s right, a brave seven year –old ChristoperMiszkowiec saved his mother’s life in a car accident by using the NDS’s screen backlit light to show him the way. A very smart young kid there.

Down in Australia, the Miszkowiec family was driving down a country road late one evening when a kangaroo hopped across their path. The car crashed into the creature, causing it to roll several times.The father of the family was able to crawl out of the vehicle and rescue the couple’s six-month old child, the youngest of three. Christoper unbuckled himself and then his five-year old brother (which we assume to have gotten out by then), but Kathleen was out cold. As you can imagine, a country road with barely any street light is an especially dark place at night and it was impossible to see, what more for a young kid, so Christoper turned on his Nintendo DS. Using the light from the screen, he made his way to his mother and got her out of her seat to safety.

To honor the young man, Christopher Miszkowiec received an Ambulance Victoria Community Hero award for extraordinary life-saving acts. The award was presented at Melbourne’s Parliament House. Great kid, and we know that he will grow up to be a fine young man. Can you be like him? I believe typical 7-year-old kid would be crying non-stop with his NDS still on his hand.
