Police officers from the Groton Police Department in Massachusetts answered an emergency call from a concerned citizen who called 911 to inform the authorities that two young males who got stuck in a swamp at the James Brook Wetlands on Wednesday afternoon. By the time that the police officers arrived at the swamp, one of the youngsters had managed to escape, the police used a drone to find the youth as firefighters put on a dry suit and used a ladder to rescue the youngster and take the youngster to safety. The conditions of the youngsters were cold but thank goodness none of the two youngsters were seriously injured. Link is msn.com/en-us/weather/...

You’ve got to be quite a mischievous child to end up in a swamp.

Youngsters often play around in dangerous ares, and it was lucky here, that they both could be saved, as the swamp could have just eaten them up, if they had not been rescued speedily.
