11-Year-Old’s Daring Dive Saves Drowning Man

11-Year-Old’s Daring Dive Saves Drowning Man

An 11-year-old boy in Kentucky has been hailed a hero after diving into an apartment pool to rescue a man who had gone under. “I saw him unconscious and shaking, so I put on my goggles, went underwater and pulled him up,” the boy recalled. “There was no way I was going to let another man die today.” Another guest helped drag the man onto the deck while the boy’s friend began CPR until emergency crews arrived. The victim was rushed to hospital in serious condition. Social media users have flooded platforms with praise for the youngster’s courage and quick thinking.

It's amazing, but I wonder how much supervision was in place before the boy had to dive in himself.

Hero stories are great, but isn't it risky to celebrate a child taking such a dangerous responsibility alone?
