Rescue 911 - Episode 229 - "Texas Pool Tot" (Part 1 of 2)

A young girl drowns in a swimming pool while her parents are doing yard work. This segment was taken from Episode 229 which aired on May 14, 1991 on CBS. This particular version of the segment was taken from a 30-minute syndicated episode, so small parts of it may have been cut out to make room for commercials.

That segment is actually not taken from the 30min syndicated episode. Based on the 1997-1998transparent Family Channel logo I spotted during the first few minutes, it's taken from FAM during the network's final months being The Family Channel before it became Fox Family Channel during the afternoon of August 15, 1998.

I spliced in the beginning from the Fam airing, but it mostly comes from the syndicated episode. It changes from Fam to syndication around 2:42 when it changes scenes from the bedroom to the dispatch center. Part 2 is entirely from syndication.

I'm sick and tired of parents not watching their kids.

[skiljathegirl]

Show me any parent who really watches their child every second, day and night....simply not possible and kids that are watched like that will never be normal people. And the one second might be enough for something to happen even with the most watchful parents and some things can happen under your very eyes.

[rambojuliuscaesar]

that totally depends on the child and age. my grandfathers did work similar to that from the time they were 10

[natashacompeau]

she wasn't pregnant the dispatchers wife was pregnant...lol

[TeamStephenson]

its easily done, whats also scary though is letting the child use a garden strimmer!

[Grace708]

i doubt it would have killed the baby, in her womb, the amniotic sac can take a lot of battering, at least i hope not anyways. that would suck

[PBJ192]

yeah, but every one has parents, and hopefully has seen better, kids+pool-supervision=negligen­t

for example, today, I was lifeguarding at the pool I work at, this little girl is borderline drowning (was having a hard time staying above water, would have made the rescue but the girl grabbed onto the rail of the stairs that her siblings pushed her off of), and her mother is sitting on the side of the pool, texting on her fucking iphone, people like that really piss me off.

STUPID PARENTS NOT SUPERVISING

Parents need to really watch their kids. I once saw a little girl playing on her bike, right around traffic and where were her parents? Mom was busy chatting away with a friend, not paying any attention.

Seriously, parents need to start paying more attention to their children. Anyone can turn around and leave a child alone for a few minutes and think, "What could happen?" but the thing is, sometimes for a kid to be in huge danger, all it takes is just a few seconds.

I assume he meant 'breathe'. I hate the bad grammar on YouTube.

That's not necessarily true, especially in the earlier trimester of pregnancy.

I'm a Paramedic. A fetus can take more than most people realize. Women have been having babies since time began, and we've managed to create a population in the billions.

It's a realistic concern though.
