CBS Dallas/Fort Worth September 7, 2021 A ten-year-old girl in Texas is being called a hero for saving her grandmother after the woman was allegedly set on fire by her ex-boyfriend. Nevaeh Gallegos is the youngster being praised. Sadly she witnessed something no child should ever see. Her grandmother, certified nursing assistant Deborah Romo, was arguing with her ex-boyfriend, Roberto Cocolan. Nevaeh said she was in her room when suddenly, "I heard my grandma screaming. Then she was on the couch where I saw her on the floor. Then he was standing and pouring gasoline on her, and she started crying, and I pushed him and try to hit him, but he still continued with doing it."
