How would you free yourself if hogtied in this situation?

True story. A friend of mine agreed to babysit a 10 year old boy from what other people might say, hell. He was being the friendly neighbor, volunteering for free. Tired, he drowsed off. He wakes up hogtied with Christmas lights. After 10 minutes of communicating, ranging from calm persuasion to outright indignant demand, the kid would not release him.

If this was you, what would you say and do to get the kid to release you as soon as? Thanks. : )

My friend did get release. After turning into the Hulk.
