Finally Some Good News

Finally some good news, buried at the bottem of the news page, but I found it! A 5 year old boy was rescued from a retention pond in Indianapolis earlier today. The autistic young boy went missing while his mother was asleep. When she awoke and realized he was gone, with the front door wide open, she called the police frantic and upset. At the same time this was happening, a retired newsman was driving when he noticed a confused looking boy wearing a diaper walking along the retention pond. The man, Mort, decided to follow the boy to make sure he was ok. The neighbors in the area had already called the police, and it wasn't very long before a policeman showed up. The policeman, Officer Larry, and Mort started to approach the boy, who became scared and fell into the retention pond. Officer Larry jumped in and was able to pull the boy over to the side of the pond, even as the boy was thrashing wildly. Mort helped the boy out of the pond, gave him to a postal lady who had also happened by, then helped Officer Larry out of the pond. The boys mother arrived shortly thereafter, and all ended well. Thank goodness for the people that take notice of their surroundings, and upon realized something doesn't look right, decides to check things out, or in this case, save a child's life. The mother was quoted as saying Officer Larry and Mort are angels to her for saving her son's life. I would agree with her. There are a lot of "angels" out there, we just need to remember to thank them when we get the chance.
