Piers Morgan had an interview with Angel Cordero who has been largely ignored by the national media despite his part in the rescue of Amanda Berry, one of the Cleveland Kidnapping victims.

While most of the attention has dwelled upon Charles Ramsey, Angel says he was actually the one who kicked in the door that allowed Amanda to escape with her young child.

Part of the reason why Angel hasn't been as celebrated as Mr. Ramsey is probably because Angel does not speak English.

But with a translator, the other hero explained how it all went down on that fateful Monday.

Anderson Cooper conducted an amazing interview with one of the key figures from the Cleveland kidnapping case - Charles Ramsey.

This heroic man lived next door to the house that held Amanda Berry captive along with Michelle Knight and Gina DeJesus for ten years.

He rescued Berry after he heard her cries for help, and even though everyone is calling him a hero - Ramsey says he only did the right thing, and does not want any reward money! Which consequently is only further proof of his heroism.

Ramsey also tells Coop that he never saw any of the victims previously, but that he DID see two little girls whom he thought were the main suspect Ariel Castro's grandkids. One of those little girls was most likely Berry's daughter, who was conceived and born while Amanda was held captive.

Incredible.

7-year-old Brittney Baxter was looking in the toy aisle while her mom was just a few feet away at a local Walmart in Bremen, Georgia, when a man approached her, grabbed her, and put his hand over her mouth.

Brittney narrowly escaped being kidnapped by the man, Andrew Woods, when she kicked and screamed, struggling a way to escape.

He eventually let her go and ran out of the store, but thankfully, he was caught by police about 10 miles away. He had just been released from jail a few months ago after completing a prison sentence for involuntary manslaughter.

Watch the chilling surveillance video above of Brittney escaping her would-be captor. She also speaks about how she was able to escape. Brave, brave girl.

Her mother later said she used the "Stranger Danger" method, which is important to teach children about strangers. CLICK HERE for more info.

That little girl deserves a whole lotta praise.

Because what else would she hit her mother with? A frying pan??

Ha, just kidding. We hate to make light of a serious situation, especially since this kid was genius enough to try to lure her mother with the delightful aroma of cheese, pepperoni, and sausages.

Little Rita Lawlor was awarded by the Sarasota County Fire Department for bravery after she tried to wake her mother up by hitting her in the face with a slice of pizza.

After the hard, crumby crust of pizza against her mother's face failed to wake her up, Rita calmly called 911. Soon, an ambulance pulled up and saved her mother.

Thank goodness for some quick thinking and an ability to stay calm under pressure. She's our Perezcious hero of the day.

To hear Rita's story, watch above. Srsly, she couldn't be more adorable. We wish we could give you ALL the pizza in the world.
