Shouldn’t a deep pond like this at very least be marked with some type of sign warning of Thin Ice?
I have never lived near a pond or a small body of water such as described here. Are there ever any warning signs posted for thin ice?

**So glad the stranger decided to get involved and not just film the tragedy with her cell phone.

There is nothing in existence like bringing someone back from the brink of death by CPR. I held a 2 year old girl in my arms in shoulder deep water performing CPR and saw the light come back into her eyes.

Everything else in life pales before that memory. The dead look in the eyes before CPR and the light returning. Praise God.

I was reading about this in the local news this morning. The young lady just dashed out of her residence as soon as she saw something wrong. She looked fine when they were interviewing her.

Why do they call her a bystander when she did much more than standing by?
Dusty Talavera is a Hero.

Very groovy thing the good Lord gave us.

Little kids knock off in cold water often come right back.

That ain’t evolution.

That’s just, “It’s not your time yet, little one”.

A social worker was seen walking back to their car as the victims cried for help.

Quite a contrast to the woman who threw her baby in the dumpster the other day.

I fell through ice on a pond as a kid doing something stupid. I remember

- it was really cold
- it was shallow enough I could stand
- as I tried to get back on top of the good ice it kept breaking as well
- the trick was to spread as much of your weight over as large an area as possible but I still don’t remember exactly how I did it
- the walk home was super cold

Healthy respect for this sort of thing. One of many incidents growing up that could have turned out way different.

Deputies said Talavera told them, “she wasn’t concerned for her safety because they were babies and they needed help.” The 6-year-old was not breathing, was not conscious, and had no pulse, the sheriff’s office said. At that time, deputies arrived on the scene. Deputy David Rodriguez removed her coat and immediately began chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Also assisting in life-saving CPR were Deputy Blaine Moulton and Deputy Justin Dillard.

Nice to know there are still good people out there. Thanks for posting.
