💪Not all heroes wear capes

A California woman has fought off a mountain lion that was attacking her five-year-old son.

According to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, on Thursday the animal attacked the boy while he was in the family's front yard in Calabasas, leaving him with injuries to his head, neck, and chest.

"The true hero of this story is his mom because she absolutely saved her son’s life," said Capt. Patrick Foy, a spokesman for the department. He mentioned that the boy’s mother heard the noise from inside the house before running outside and “beating the mountain lion with her bare hands."

The parents then rushed the boy to hospital, where he is in a stable condition.

🤨A US Marine Corps lieutenant colonel, who lost his job this week after criticising the US military leadership over the Afghanistan pullout, has repeated his demands for his superiors to accept responsibility for the chaos. Stuart Scheller posted a video with the demands to Facebook and LinkedIn on Thursday.

“I have been fighting for 17 years,” said Scheller, then commander of an advanced infantry training battalion. “I am willing to throw it all away to say to my senior leaders: I demand accountability.”
