That's not what happened. It's amazing how when a story spreads it gets twisted around. I am the boy's sister and I was there. He wasn't under that long...maybe 10 seconds, if even that. My brother, Jesse, saw him right away and yelled that he went under, and probably saved his life. You should do a little more research before you bend the truth.

I agree, it makes me wonder how many other things I have read in the news that have been twisted so much! Its sad that you can't talk to people that were ACTUALLY THERE and find out what really happened. Also he didn't cough up water at the pool. It's funny how in these few sentences a good portion of what is reported isn't even what happened at all.
