8-Year-Old Dies A Hero Trying To Save His Sister From Being Molested

INJOChildren as young as 8 years old don't typically try to fight off attackers. But a brave California boy attempted to do just that as his sister was being molested.

When Dante Daniels saw 23-year-old Deandre Chaney Jr. with his 7-year-old sister, the little boy couldn't just stand by and watch.

Instead, Daniels tried to help his sister out. Sadly, the heroic act from the child would result in tragedy, as Chaney Jr. grabbed a hammer.

During an interview with Fox 40, Daniels's grandmother, Monique Brown, revealed what happened:

“This guy beat my grandson with a hammer. Down to his spine. They couldn't save his brain,” Brown said.

Early in the morning on Sept. 1, investigators say his mother's ex-boyfriend, 23-year-old Deandre Chaney Jr., attacked Dante with a hammer. A criminal complaint alleged he also used lighter fluid. Six days later, Dante died.

The boy's mother was also beaten to the point that she might not ever see out of her left eye again, according to Brown.
