Parents are usually the ones responsible for their children's safety, but there have also been times when the roles have been reversed, and the kids ended up doing all the rescuing.

Below are some of the most incredible, real-life stories featuring heroic young kids who ended up saving their parents from certain doom.

Agustin Robinet

Despite being only six, little Agustin managed to remain perfectly calm while helping his mother to give birth at home.

Michael Bowron

While driving back home to the family farm, the truck they were in ended up going turtle. While his dad lay trapped in the wreckage of the truck, the eight-year-old boy managed to strip the radio wires before connecting them to call in for help.

Aidan Turner

After discovering that his mom had fainted while taking a bath, the 10-year-old pulled the plug, dragged her out by tugging her hair and put her in the recovery position before calling for an ambulance.

Maddie McRae

This heroic 11-year-old ended up saving seven people (including her mother and two siblings) after their cars ended up in the river.

Nathan Thomson

The nine-year-old was slashed repeatedly in the face while trying to rescue his mother from an armed intruder who lashed at his face, scarring him for life. But the bold move worked and his mom (who was knifed eight times) survived the attack.

Alexis Goggin

This amazing seven-year-old used her body as a bullet proof vest to shield her mom by a former boyfriend. Two bullets struck the mother before little Alexis jumped in front and begged the shooter to stop. She ended up taking six bullets point blank, including a couple to the head. The assailant was arrested, and Alexis survived the ordeal.
