Another amazing story of a New Mexico 13 year old teen named Kaydence Henslee who lives in Mayhill who was on Spring Break in Orlando Florida when she was at poolside with her relatives when she saw a three old child named Haven Williams from Missouri who was face down in the pool. Haven's mother Ashley Williams made the small error of stepping away from the swimming pool for a few minutes leaving her child in the pool. Kaydence who is just starting to take CPR courses in school immediately took action to give Haven CPR to save the child from drowning until the ambulance arrived to take Haven to a local hospital on Saturday afternoon. Ashley did come to be with her child after she was alerted by a stranger who alerted her and the others in the bar pool to call 911 to report the incident. Both the Williams and Henslee families are now close friends after Kaydence did take action to get Haven out of the swimming pool in the nick of time since had Ashley been rescued a few minutes later, the story would have had a tragic ending. Haven was able to make a full recovery from her near death experience the next morning during her stay at a local hospital in Orlando. Just call Kaydence a Guardian Angel to Haven in Orlando Florida on Saturday afternoon.

Tat was so fortunate of him tat the teen noticed this in time. It is not atoll acceptable leaving a child unattended near a pool. all well that ends well but tis sort of negligence can be very dangerous.

You are right about not watching a child closely at a pool.

This is why you never turn your back on your children.

I agree with you since teens today are learning how to save lives by using their first aid skills that are being taught in schools.

A 3-year-old should never be left for a moment in a pool. I'm glad Kaydence was around to save the child.

I agree with you since children of the at age need to have adult supervision.

I am so glad that she was able to save the toddler, However, the parents would have been watching more closely
