Kyle sister garden pond

Kyle sister garden pond-AN EIGHT-year-old boy has been hailed a hero after saving the life of his little sister when she fell in to the garden pond. Fully-clothed Sophia Mollan, five, tumbled in to the icy pond at the family’s new home in Dunfermline, Fife, banging her head on the way down. Tragedy was averted when her quick-thinking brother, Kyle, sent a younger sister to get help before managing to grab a flailing arm and eventually hauling the tot to safety. His proud mother and father, Darren and Lynn, said Kyle showed remarkable presence of mind in shocking circumstances. Lynn, a 32-year-old student nurse, said the family couldn’t bear to think what could have happened if their son hadn’t acted so quickly.

She said: “It doesn’t bear thinking about. “Kyle is eight-years-old and knew exactly what to do and didn’t panic, he had his wits about him. “That’s why we’re so proud of him, he’s really got his head screwed on.”

The drama unfolded after the family’s recent move to a new house in Townhill Road. Kyle, Sophia and sister Mya, three, were playing in the garden while Darren, 40, was looking on. http://www.deadlinenews.co.uk/?p=42045
