Doofus!

Don’t react, act!

Kid could have been under water and breathless for two minutes or so without harm.

Take the stairs, flush his lungs, apply breaths and chest compressions as needed.

How would he know that he wasn’t already under water for 2 minutes, and what are the chances is going to know how to clear the lungs and apply chest compression?

You read about someone jumping off a balcony to pull a drowning child from a pool and the word that comes to your mind is, “Doofus”? Are you the Grinch?

My first thought as well. The kid is still splashing around - plenty of time to take the stairs. But hindsight is 20/20...
