I am the mother of the 2 year old baby boy, who drowned in Texas and the .
I would like to respond to the questions, and clear up a few things.
I am not trying to find someone to blame. Could I have been REFRESHED IN CPR, YES.Would it have a made a difference in my case, No, this was my son, i was lost, confused, in complete panic, and i had other children around me as well, screaming, crying, my mind body and soul come apart, was not in sync, I COULD NOT THINK STRAIGHT. I couldnt even think where the heart was. I had lost it.
The chidren at my home were my kids and their cousin, no neighbors.The paper ot things mixed up a little bit.
I had returned home and seen my son alive and while, i had not been home long enough to even unload my car.When he climbed into the pool.
So Blake, had not been in the water long at all. His presence was missed, i asked for him, we searched and found him quickly.
My pool had been cut off, and the instruction was for no one to get in the pool, it needed a new pump, the ladder had been removed, at one point while i was gone,( 2 days later i found out )the kids put it back, went swimming, hide it from me by cleaning up and drying off, but they forgot to put the ladder back in the outhouse, and thats how my son got into the pool.
It was a traggic accident. And When accidents happen, we are taught 911.
The officer arrived first, I thanked him for coming, and moved back, his words were go ahead you got it, I PLEADED AND BEGGED for him to do, i told him I couldn't, I asked him to do it, he replied, I DONT KNOW IT.
When he was asked about not knowing cpr by the grandmother, he got angry began to curse, and threaten my mom, that made me stop and beg him to not do not, NOT HERE NOT NOW, IT NOT THE TIME OR PLACE.
The officer never touched my son, he only visualy examined him, Im guessing for signs of trauma.Which according to chief, is done because they only come out to medical scene because it may have been a crime commited.
More officers arrived as well as EMT. EMT picked up my son, and did their job. Simutaneously, I am being told I cant go anymore, cant go to the hospital, and was treated like a criminal.Instead of a grieving mother.
So when I go to the police to complain about the officers behavior and Williamson not knowing CPR, is when i was informed he did know CPR, he knows it well, and performs those duties in Afganistan.
Then i read the report, I read the lies and i read that he knew i was performing it wrong. He never tried to correct us, he never tried to touch Blake, no one verbally attacked him, he verbally attacked my mom. He failed to put it in report, but his captain admitted to me he said he cursed my mom.
They did nothing to him. This officer was on the force for under a year at this time, still on probation, and already had complaints on him, not including my son. Still nothing was done.
One of the qualification of being an officer is to have moral standards.
Do you think he does?
I believe he is in it for the pay, not for the passion.
I was furiated. Here is a man that we as citizens are taught to trust and depend on. Because of is position. I felt let down.
By him and the chief.
The chief stated the officer cant give CPR without a barrier and that the department does not provide it.
Well he was wrong!!
Section D line 3 states
All cardiopulmonary resuscitation equipment shall be keep in the bokking area and issued to each officer.
The Chief failed honor his own policy.
I feel as if I let my son down, cause I WASNT TRAINED, but I also feel the officer did too. He lied, he knew cpr, it was in his power to do something he did nothing. I dont know 100% if he would have been save, its a possibilty, and thats translated to me as hope.
I was desperate I need him. I was lost. If that was his child and i knew i could do something i would have done so. I couldnt live with myself, if didnt.
This man was an officer and a soldier. Dont you think that says something?
That officer didnt realize but, he changed the myth of officers being heros to all of the kids around him, and even the adults.
Why was my son not worthy of being saved?
That was my only son, my life, my joy. I wouldnt have been angry if the officer didnt succeed, it is the lack of concern,and compassion that concerns me.
Right before this, other incidents happen where the officers cause the injuries to a child and man, when called out to a medical scene. The child was shot and the man was tazered. Two seperated incidents both were the patients and both dead.
There is not one policy that could have allowed me to let a person die in front of me, unless I knew i would l die for sure. God wouldnt have it any other way.
But because of what i went threw, I can now help otherS from experiencing this. I am hosting programs, that bring awarness to parents, children and cartakers of being pro-active, to avoid accidents/ fatalities, extra steps to take, and how to SAVE OURSELVES
(I.E LEARNING CPR , AND NOT LEAVING YOUR KIDS WITH UNCERTIFIED BabySITTERS)
Some of you support me, I thank you.
Some of you dont, I can respect that.
