A Covington Police Officer named Michael Hess responded to a medical call on Sunday July 13 when a small boy fell into a swimming pool. Officer Hess was able to rescue the young boy who could have drowned in the pool by getting him out of the pool and use his training to revive the young boy who likely had passed out in the swimming pool. The young boy is alive and well thanks to the actions of the police officer, I know the question will be where were the parents when the young boy fell into the pool?

I wonder if Officer Hess was a distant relative of Rudolf. Officer Hess did really well and the boy is most likely alive because of the brave officer know the question will be where were the parents when the young boy fell into the pool? Well I best not say where I think the parents might have been But they were not where they should have been And that is with their son If you push me for an answer I will tell you as long as nobody accuses me of stereotyping

It is so easy for kids to slip away. I imagine they’ll think about putting a fence around the pool now. Thank goodness for the policeman.

You are right that the child most likely slipped away from the view of his parents.

That was good that the Police Officer arrived in time to rescue the boy before he drowned.

Thank goodness the police officer was able to rescue the boy. The parents always seem to be absent in these cases.

As for the parents, it’s a fair question, but in moments like these, the focus is rightly on gratitude for the rescue.
