Saved from what?

Scenario (1): I have threatened to beat my own child with a sledgehammer until he says "I love you daddy." Luckily, he says the magic words so I refrain from murdering him. I DID NOT "SAVE" MY CHILD.

Scenario (2): I have threatened to beat my own child with a sledgehammer until he says "I love you daddy." Luckily, the cops show up in time, hauling my sorry ass off to jail. THE COPS saved that child.

Of course, all the kid has to do is say "I love you, daddy," right? Its his own damn fault if he doesn't comply with the rules of a twisted game of my own making, right?
