Four-year-old British boy freed and given Mars bar after telling armed militant 'you’re a bad man'

A four-year-old British boy survived the Kenya shopping mall attack after telling an armed jihadist ‘you’re a bad man’, according to the boy's uncle who has given an interview to a UK newspaper.

After apparently seeing his mother shot in the thigh, young Elliott Prior is said to have confronted the gunman shouting “you’re a bad man, let us leave”.

Incredibly the gunman in understood to have took pity on Elliott and his six-year-old sister Amelie, giving the pair a Mars bar each and allowing them and their mother to leave the chaotic shopping mall in the middle of the terror attack.

Elliott’s 35-year-old mother Amber was reportedly able to grab two more children - including a wounded 12-year-old boy whose mother had been murdered – before exiting the shopping mall and taking the children them to safety.

1. Amber is very brave, like her kid--what a nightmare. nt

2. Lord have mercy

I can't imagine what that must have been like.

4. There must have been some tiny ass spark of humanity left in the gunman which the boy reached

with his innocence, courage and candor.

For that split instance the gunman was forced to step outside of his anger/hate filled body and see his own actions for what they were.

Kudos to Elliott Prior.

Thanks for the thread, Turborama.
