A young boy in America managed to get his kidnapper to free him - by repeatedly singing the gospel song "Every Praise".

Nine year old Willie Myrick was snatched from his Georgia driveway, and driven around for three hours before being released in the city of East Point according to news website Naturally Moi.

As it turns out, the boy’s actions during that time may have led to his release. The boy sang the gospel song “Every Praise” until the man let him go, the report states.

At Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, Willie shared with churchgoers what he’d been through. He says the man who abducted him kept yelling at him and telling him to shυt up “f*ck boy”, but Willie refused. The next thing the boy knew, he was been freed from the clutches of his captor.

“He opened the door and threw me out,” Willie said. “He told me not to tell anyone.”
