Via BitchPh.D. comes this story of a 7 year old who jumped in front of her mother's murderous ex-boyfriend to save her mother's life. The little girl was shot six times (and her mother twice) before the police finally showed up. Child and mama both miraculously survived, but they are going to need some help. Please go over to Bitch's, read the whole story, and see what your heart tells you.
