Report shared from CBS 46:
MCDONOUGH, GA (CBS46) -
An 11 year-old boy kept his cool and calmed his mother over the phone as four teens broke into the family's home.
The incident happened inside the family's home in McDonough.
The 11 year-old boy, whose mother doesn't want to be identified, says he heard a window breaking so he ran to a safe place to call his mother. The child's mother, who we'll only identify as Tenisha, says it seemed like a movie playing out in real life.
She says she felt terrorized when her son called her to tell her that something wasn't right.
"The only thing that I could see in my mind was the movie 'Taken'," said Tenisha. "I could just see somebody just coming in and taking him away. I was asking what was wrong and he said 'Mommy, I think someone is robbing the house'."
Tenisha says her son was alone at home when he heard a knock at the door. He saw four people circling the house and then heard the smashing of glass. That's when the boy ran to his room and called  his mother.
Tenisha says the first thing her son told her was, "Mommy, I need you to stay calm. That's the only way I'm going to stay calm. I need you to stay calm".
"It's a good thing that he was quickly responsive to what he heard because it could have been so different," said Tenisha. "I've always told him if you get into a situation, the only way that you're going to be able to think clearly is if you stay calm."
The police were called and Henry County officers arrived as the burglars were attempting to get away. They were apprehended and all four teens are facing burglary charges.
The suspects are:
Cody Demarcus Daniels, 17
Jordan Lamar Jones-Kurdi, 18
Terry Nichols Lucien, 19
Trelan DeJuan Spencer, 18
Fortunately, the boy wasn't hurt. The family says they don't think the burglars even knew he was in the house.
