Local heroes: Pint-sized hero Jarvani, 4, saves mum at home in Birmingham

Nov 9 2010 by Emma McKinney, Birmingham Mail

HE might only be four years old but after helping save his mother’s life Jarvarni Singh has been crowned one of the Birmingham Mail’s Local Heroes of 2010.

The pint-sized life-saver jumped into action and showed maturity beyond his years when he came to the rescue of his mum Clare.

A diabetic, she had been struck down with a hypoglycaemic attack at her Birmingham home. But as she tried to call 999 for help she collapsed and was unable to speak. Jarvani took over, giving his address to the operator.

He then fetched the front door keys from the top of a fridge freezer, which he passed through the letter box to police officers.
