Kickass Kid of the Day: When convicted killer Thomas Andrew Woods grabbed 7-year-old Brittney Baxter inside a Walmart in west Georgia, she immediately recalled her Stranger Danger training and began kicking and screaming as hard as she could.

Brittney was in the toy aisle when Woods approached her and began talking to her before abruptly grabbing her and making for the exit. She immediately started screaming, and Woods attempted to cover her mouth, but her persistent kicks finally persuaded him to let her go.

Brittney’s mom Georgeann was feet away picking up groceries. “”I was freaking out at that point. I just couldn’t believe it,” she told WSB-TV.

Police tracked down Woods and arrested him on a kidnapping charge. Additional charges are forthcoming.

According to the Department of Corrections, the 25-year-old was released on probation from the Wheeler Correctional Facility just last October after spending two years inside for voluntary manslaughter.
