A family of five is thanking a little boy for saving their lives, but the boy's mother thinks there's a higher authority who also deserves some thanks.
Seven-year-old DeShawn Labarriere was at his babysitter's house early Saturday morning in Kenner when it caught fire. DeShawn put a blanket over his head and banged on the doors of the house to wake everyone up and get them to safety.
