Absolutely, what a great kid.

Can you imagine how bad that idiot worker feels? A repacement padlock would have been like $3.99.

"As somebody called 911, adults hurried to the pool area, but the water was so filthy, so filled with debris, that they couldn't see Donnie. Another maintenance man, Andre Mitchell, said he poked the water with a long aluminum pole used to clean pools but turned up nothing."

Here's what I don't get...

Why the hell didn't they jump in and look for the little boy...What the hell is poking him with a pole going to do? This could have made a huge difference in the time he was under the water.

Even the little boy knew he had to go into the pool to save the little girl.

yea for real, why wouldnt they jump in, they afraid to get dirty? Id liek to think that an adult swimmer could still swim in sludge and wouldnt hvae a hard time going in a 8 foot pole. That boy had more cuts then those adults.
