I saw this on yahoo news and thought it was pretty cute. Apparently it was this boys first day of school, and he went up on the 3rd floor balcony ledge and no one could get him down. His mother informs officials that he liked superheroes. Interestingly enough, one of the firemen then proceeded to dress up as Spider-Man and "rescue" the boy.

I read this in the news today too. How wonderful that the fireman happened to have that costume on hand! I can't imagine how scared that Mother must have been, and for that fireman to take this into his own hands and rescue this autistic child...well, it just was really heart-warming! So glad that it all worked out in the end, and that the boy admired 'superheroes' rather than being scared of them.
