From the Lake in the Hills Police Department yesterday at 6:30 PM:
Child transported to hospital after being found unresponsive in pond
Lake in the Hills, IL – On Friday, July 23, 2021, at approximately 12:35 pm, officers were dispatched to the 0-100 Block of Point O Woods Ct. in Lake in the Hills for a missing male juvenile who had reportedly wandered away from his home.
Officers immediately responded to the location to begin searching for the missing child.
Golfers in the Boulder Ridge Country Club neighborhood located the child unresponsive in a nearby pond, pulled him out, and began to initiate CPR.
Upon arrival, first responders took over life saving measures.
The child was transported by ambulance to Northwestern Medicine Huntley Hospital by the Huntley Fire Protection District.
He was later transferred via helicopter to Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of
Chicago.
The child’s current condition is unknown at this time.
This is an ongoing investigation and information will be forthcoming as it is available.
How old is the child?
Survival increases with age.
God bless him
Thank God for concerned citizens in sighting and rescuing the child, including administering CPR until Professionals arrived.
Good to know CPR as well as use of an AED.
These days also good from an urban perspective on training in Stop the Bleed basics, (shootings, car accidents) and how to administer and have access to Naloxone for Opiod overdose.
Just cant keep up anymore, so many ways to die.
Thanks again Golfers!
Prayers for this child!
I guess this one won’t be swept under the rug like the Pyle case was initially.
What’s the Pyle case?
