Wow. I can't even begin to imagine how those poor mothers must have felt. How amazing that little boy is to take lead and care for those other 6 children. Wow.

He is a remarkable child, I hope someone is recording all of this, and keeping some sort of memory-book for him.

Some children are very responsible, more so than many adults. He is one, and should be commended. I bet his ribs are sore from all the hugs the moms of those babies are giving him!

What a remarkable little boy! It's hard to believe a child so young could care for the little troop of younger ones without falling apart. Especially the five month old baby! Who knows...this child could grow up to be President someday.

What a wonderful story and what a fine young man. Unbelievable! He'll grow up to be a very fine adult too I'm sure.

There are times when the innocence of a child can be a great thing.


Being a grown up sometimes has it's disadvantages,
Not knowing fear can be a good thing sometimes.

Wow! that is a great story - just shows age doesn't matter - some are just mature beyond their years. And miracles still do happen!
