Man saves Baby Found at the Bottom of a Pool

A boy was found at the bottom of the pool, and a man gave him CPR and saved his little life.

I saw this heart-breaking, yet heroic story on Fox Atlanta last night, and I wanted to share with our Cascade Patch readers because it is such a powerful story and because there is plenty of summer left, and we must promote pool safety to our kids and their parents.

According to the Fox Atlanta report, a "4-year-old boy was at bottom of a pool at the Scott Crossing apartment complex on Hollywood Drive."  Luckily a man had just entered the pool and stumbled on the boy, and picked him up out of the water and saved him.

In the report and interview that you must see, the man that saved him says that the child looked swollen and already deceased when he pulled him out of the water, but he performed CPR on him and he came back to life.

What a miracle, but what a lesson as well.  In the report, it does not say who was responsible for watching the 4 year-old.
