Quick thinking on your and your friends part Ben, you saved his life.
A few years ago I can't remember the exact time we lost a child to a tunnel cave in in the area, man I think he was 8 but my memory is shot for details anymore. Now that we are on the subject piles of leaves left on the street for DPW pick up are equally dangerous if they are big enough, kids hide in them while they are playing and well, you can figure out the rest.....
