| Rescue Workers Pull Toddler From Well After 13 Hours http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/news/nat..._babywell.html Rescue Workers Pull Toddler From Well After 13 Hours By The Associated Press (11/01/04 - FRISCO CITY, AL) — Rescue workers pulled a 22-month-old boy to safety Monday morning after he was trapped for 13 hours in an abandoned well. Authorities said the boy, Jermere McMillan, was playing in a vacant lot with other children when he fell into the 14-foot well shortly after 4 p.m. Sunday. Police used earth-moving equipment to dig a separate shaft, and workers were able to rescue the child about 5:15 a.m. Monday. Mobile television station WKRG reported the youngster had scratches and bruises, according to paramedics and a doctor on the scene. He was taken to the University of South Alabama Medical Center in Mobile for observation. The boy's mother, Mica Wilson, accompanied him to the hospital, the station said. Little Jermere was monitored by cameras and paramedics during his ordeal. The well was filled with dirt to prevent another accident. In 1987, an 18-month-old Midland, Texas, girl, Jessica McClure, created a nationwide sensation after she fell into an abandoned well and became trapped 22 feet down in a hole 8 inches wide. It took emergency crews 2 1/2 days to reach the little girl. Jessica recovered from her injuries. (Copyright 2004 by The Associated Press.

| Seriously, where do all these wells come from? And why do kids always happen to fall down them? I'm glad the kids okay though. I wonder where his parents were when he was playing in this vacant lot. __________________ ~Heather~ | |||
