According to the news story I read the eight year old's brother knocked him off the wire with his book bag. That's some quick thinking for a 10 year old. Poor kids. I hope this little guy heals. My heart goes out to the family and great job to the officers that risked their own lives to save this kid and get him to the hospital quickly.
Had no idea. Good thinking that saved his life
I hadn’t seen that but the other comments said he survived. That’s why a brother is a wonderful thing to have❤
Literally the world's best brother. I can't imagine how traumatic this was for him
8 or 10 yr old?
God Bless that little boy and his brother. What a sh#tty thing to have to go through. Good officer w balls to get that boy away from danger. Awesome work right there.
This happened in 2022, the boy survived and the officer recieved a medal of valor for his heroism
Thanks for the update 👍👍👍
Where did you see this?
If any of you have watched a video of them, actually taking him to the hospital. It’s absolutely heartbreaking. The poor boy wakes up and just start screaming and the officer holding the boy tries to comfort him.
That first scream after he was just making shivering sounds, that loud scream legit brought tears to my eyes , I was happy he was awake and then you can hear the pain in his cries. I haven't cried like that in awhile from watching a video😭
the thing is the victim was not conscience AT ALL on the way to the hospital , that was his body reacting to the electrocution . this is called SHOCK . while the victim was not awake, his body was reacting to the pain and trauma . Because it happened so fast he was unable to scream when it happened .
I watched it but how did he get electrocuted? I might have missed it
@@vaanikarthik he touched or grabbed a downed power line. Whether on accident or intentional, I didn't hear but glad he made. The police are heroes.
From what I was able to find, the boy has permanent brain damage and had to have reconstructive surgery done on his hands. Both him and his older 10 year old brother were electrocuted. I believe the older brother is the one who pulled him off of the line hanging 4ft above the road and got electrocuted in the process. Somehow, one of the lines off camera was touching the ground and electrifying the wet spots on the road. When they pull him away in the video, look closely at the ground, you can see the burn spots where his heels, tailbone and the back of his head were touching the ground.
“The younger brother went through the caution tape and grabbed a wire that was hanging at about five feet and tried to lift the wire up over his head and received a jolt,” said McAdams. “His older brother hit him with his backpack and was attempting to pull his brother away from the wire when the police came and removed the child from the wire.”
The way he went from crying, to silent, to screaming in pain was horrible. But those police officers did a wonderful job comforting him and keeping him informed. edit: thanks everyone for explaining that it was the boy's brother we heard crying in the video. The boy is unconscious or in and out of consciousness at least.
I bet he was still out in the back of the car. He's kinda snoring in between screams. Makes me believe he was reliving being electrocuted.
…and saving his life
I believe the people around the police were sobbing I think he was out cold.
The screaming at the beginning was coming from his little brother who had witnessed the incident. The electrocuted boy was unconscious.
Yes, both he and the African American man ❤
Officer Dave was on it, he immediately said "i gotta get him". If he didnt take the initiative to do what he knew he should do im honestly not confident that the other men would have. And most of the time it only takes one man with bravery and compassion to act for the others to follow. Officer Dave i kno Blake and his family will remember you for the rest of their lives.
It was unreal! Did you see the other video from his camera? Wow. Great stuff Officer! It looked like he may have burnt his hand? I mean the way he shook it when he let go of the boy. My dad used to investigate deaths from electrocution. He’s gone 20 years now. Wish I could ask him about this.
In cases of electrocution it's extremely dangerous to try and help the person because you can easily be electrocuted next, which is why people hesitate. I believe for electricians and other people who work with electricity, the first thing they have to do to help is leave the person and shut off the power, which in this case isn't possible because it's an outdoor power line.

Rubber soles!
@@amymusick5455Ah, yes, rubber sole gloves 🤡
I once passed through a downed tree on a sidewalk and nearly gave myself a damn heart attack when I saw a power line in the branches right next to my passenger window. That was way closer than I ever want to be to a wire ever again. This situation is so far beyond that. The fact the cops who grabbed him were expressing pain just from touching him shows how serious it was, but they did what needed to be done, props to them.
You should see the movie with Travolta in it about the lineman who go up those power poles
They say he's hot, meaning his whole body was so warm/electrically charged, it hurt an adult to touch him. Savage, really.
@@LlibertarianGaltexactly.... unfortunately, what we can see and hear is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to electrocution at that lvl.... I had 220v burn through a pair of Milwaukee grade 4 gloves and jolt me off my feet, and threw me back a good 5ft... and it was a split second of contact. I really hope this lil guy recovers well.
FYI it was a incorrectly wired "Switched Socket" in a kitchen, paired with a mislabeled breaker box.
@@LlibertarianGalthot as in electrically hot, the cop that jumped was touch potentialed through his foot. Read about touch and step potential.
The true definition of heroes. Thank you officers for going above and beyond
DEFUND the Police!
So much gratitude to the officer who said “I’ve got to get him “ ❤Respect
It’s their job and they get no where near the respect they deserve for it anymore.
It’s the same heroic attitude that the first responders had on 9/11. Knowing they could get killed but doing it anyway because it’s their duty. Mad respect
If you havent seen it already, you should look up the body cam of the officer you're talking about. That's where i first saw this story. It's an amazing act of bravery and then he is talking to the boy while petting his head the whole time and then carrying him to the back of a cruiser to drive to the hospital because they didnt want to wait for an ambulance to get the kid the help he needed. Honestly an A+ human being. I have to warn you though, the part where they're racing to the hospital is excruciating because the kid is finally conscious and the pain sets in. His screams are heartbreaking
@@19JMT96 I found that video footage first, I believe this one stated he was officer Dave and He's the bald man on the kid's left (judging from the perspectives). God the end of that footage was heart wrenching, to hear a little boy cry like that...
Edit: I had to go find the link for people. ruclips.net/video/iYdoOCiWSes/видео.html
That cop deserves a statue in his town. That was crazy how someone yelled don't touch him and he runs in anyway and makes it all work out.
that a super-hero quote right there
The “I gotta get him”, made me tear up. You can hear the drive in his voice to save that child’s life. ❤❤❤
Well what the heck did you think he was going to do? Just let him lay there?
@@purplelove3666yeah
@@purplelove3666 It would have been the more rational choice. Even with a fat kid like that the potential for conductivity endangering the people that still matter is quite high.
@@vangroover1903your comment is insensitive. This kid almost died.
It’d be better if you had some respect in your word choice.
@@arlecelarae654 But he didn't. I was worried about the people he put in danger with his stupidity. Hopefully he learns from this shocking experience.
I don’t know how anybody Can watch this without crying. I’m so thankful that these officers went in and got him out.
I'd like to know who took all that time to string the police tape instead of helping the poor kid! And where was the wire anyway?
@@CharGC123 you think they put the tape up after he got shocked? Surely you aren’t that stupid
@@CharGC123I don’t think police put that up. But why was wire on ground? That should have been fixed asap.
@@CharGC123 I am waiting for that to come out in the news, but I was thinking maybe the wire was already down and the area was already roped off. why somebody wasn’t standing there guarding the area especially because it was so close to the school and children are often curious.
@@CharGC123are you freaking serious right now?! Really?! You liberal turd! How can you be so dunce???
The fact that it still stung them through his body is terrifying. That much power could easily have turned them into two more bodies on the road. Cutting it very fine there, but their bravery paid off with a life saved instead of three lost.
they did it smart...each grabbed only one limb, so the residual voltage still in the kid couldn't arc through the cops' bodies...still get 'stung'...but not likely a lethal hit...still sketchy AF to do...but...have to do SOMETHING...use something non-conductive when you can...but, yeh...snap decisions...
@@cferguson37 oh I’m not dissing them at all. I’m just pointing out how dangerous this was, and how much risk they accepted doing it.
I can only think that with 'hot' they refer to his body being warm from the electricity that has passed through his body. If the officers, in some way got shocked as well, you would have seen or heard it: either by arcflash, buzzing noises or the officers retracting as they would get shocked everytime they would try to touch him.
I did an experiment with battery powered equipment once to try and see how little current it takes to feel it (there are well-known charts online, but I wanted to see what a wet concrete floor does to those numbers): I was quite stunned to see that at just 0,3 mA or so, with me standing on a wet concrete floor, covered with ceramic tiles (shower) I already got a 'holy **** it's live' kind of reaction. If the kid would have been 'hot' as in 'energised', the officers most likely would not have had any possibility to touch him without getting injured (or even killed) themselves.
@@weeardguy 1:16
@@cferguson37True, the one cop with thin rubber gloves provided some insulation and grabbing the kid's shoes provided some insulation.
Parents, teach your kids that caution tape conveys a message of "caution". If they see that tape, they stay away. Then again, kids will be kids. I did careless stuff as a kid as well. I hope he makes a full recovery.
I did stupid shit too can't really blame the kid, I once jumped off my wardrobe thinking I was a dragon and scrapped all the skin of my shins on bed frame
Caution tape
@@Monk-EOH MY GOD, OW!
@@Monk-E
Yeah, let's blame no one ! Your comment perfectly sums up nowadays' way of thinking ! 🙄🤦♀️
We all did stupid sh.. As kids. I once put my fingers up to an electrical socket & pretended to be electrocuted to prank my family when i was a kid. If i would have been electrocuted, i woulda deserved it. Dont know what the hell i was thinking 😮
The cop that came on the scene is my hero. He turned into dad mode. No way was he waiting for nothing. Thank you officer. I hope he made it.
I was an EMT. I watched a longer version, and it showed massive wounds on his hands and the top of his head. Those are extremely serious third degree burns, from the electricity entering/exiting his body. It's amazing that he lived through that.
The officer who saved him reacted as if his hand got shocked even after pulling him away. I never thought about it before but electric stays in the body? No wonder the kid was screaming…
it was the Agonal Breathing that had me hollaring at the video...'HES NOT BREATHING!!! get him an to an ER NOW...and yeh...amazing he survived, hoping the following days were good to him...thats when a lot of shock victims get into trouble
@@cferguson37 Right. He was very near death.
@cferguson37 notice the pointing finger when he was on the ground? He definitely died for a bit and came back.
@@cferguson37 what do you mean? How is that not breathing?
I watched this on my lunch break...I shouldn't have. I do construction and being aware of lines is always a big deal.i had tears in my eyes as i got back on the roof to work.this lil dude and his screams of pain I think will always be in my mind now. I pray he's healing.i don't see any updates? His hands looked bad...but I'm imagine inside his body. 😢 the way shit happens like this messes with my faith. Forgive me heavily father.
His hands did look bad and if you looked at the very end of the other video this channel posted about this story, his head appeared to have severe third degree burns on over 50% of it. That was a hard one to watch.
On the other video some comments said that it happened last year and he has made a recovery.
@@justtryme2020 yeah it was pretty hard to watch.i was wondering about his head. I saw that. Hopefully he and hid brother and the officers are doing okay.
@@zeusdarkgod7727 thank you!
@@JDillon-qd7fh your welcome brother, and think about this as well, those cops said he was still hot, which means they literally dispersed some of what was in him into themselves, that could have made all the difference in his survival.
I didn't even know that humans could act like a capacitor.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE DO A FOLLOW-UP ON THIS POOR BOY!
WE ALL WANT TO KNOW HOW HE IS DOING!!❤❤❤❤❤
This happened a year ago. I read on fox10pheonix that the boy survived and the police are being awarded with a medal 🙂
I hope the boy and his brother are also recovered/recovering mentally because I can imagine how traumatic this is.
@ThePrincessajojo thank you!
My question is why did the city have a downed power line outside a school JUST CAUTION TAPE with no one around knowing children are around
kids know what caution tape means. another commenter said the line was "probably dead but those lines can still carry a huge amount of power through Capacitance." so they might have just thought that since they disconnected its power it was safe to leave it. power company still should have been there to make it safe though.
Can aaaaaaanybody freaking explain WHAT happened here so we can all learn and this won’t happen again? Anyone?
@@iliafigueroa4820 A power line was damaged or fallen or something. The only real precaution they took was putting a crapton of "stay away" tape around it and that kid touched it.
The main failure here (I think) is that they didn't set someone to stay nearby and keep people away from it, kids do stupid stuff.
@@iliafigueroa4820 I can't see a wire anywhere, and I watched a video featuring the other cop's body cam.
@@TheGruffchickJournalwell its there
This is DEVASTATING! They are amazing for saving him!
Obviously some are dads, the “I can’t leave him” guy was for sure! Nothing matters more than our kids!
I pray he’s recovered and living his best kid life!
God bless the peacekeepers and the patriots!
Maybe some aren’t dads, but they’d make an amazing dad
Fantastic work by these police officers. I hope the young boy makes a full recovery. BLESS them.
I've got to ask. Why is there a live wire just loose in the street?
The older brother’s reaction is heart breaking. That’s gotta be terrifying. His quick acting definitely saved his little brother’s life, but I don’t fault him for coming unglued. Pretty sure most adults wouldn’t be able to handle that situation any better.
As for his brother, getting electrocuted fries nerves, shreds muscle. Even if the person looks fine on the outside it’s absolutely devastating internally. The fact the little guy can’t do much but scream once he wakes up isn’t remotely surprising. I feel horrible for both of them, and the cops. I think most people are naturally protective of little kids to at least some degree. It’s gotta be pretty horrible knowing that little boy is in so much pain and there’s not really anything you can do for him besides getting him to the hospital.
It's an awful helpless feeling.
I read that the 8 year old wanted to swing from the wire and that's how he got electrocuted. His 10 year old brother tried to help him and got zapped too, but was ultimately alright. The first 2 officers also were shocked.
Which brings up the biggest question in my mind. Why was there no one there to keep people away from the lines? Clearly it was already known about as it was taped off already. Someone's gonna get their ass handed to them in court over this, and deserve every bit of it
@@hosedragger-2045the bigger question why was the wire still live. They had time to put that much tape up, they had time to contact the power company.
If this is true, it further emphasizes the importance of teaching children about the dangers of wires.
@@buckeyehockey1979 they prob did if it was after a big storm they could be a lot of down powerlines and they didnt get to it yet
@@buckeyehockey1979what an ignorant comment, "if this is true." You seem dense.
One man with a heart of a lion. 🙏
Officer saves a person's life and all we know about his identity is that his coworkers call him Dave. If he had made a mistake while on duty instead, we'd know his entire life story. Well done Dave. Shame on the media
FACT!
100 percent
Police officers don’t share their full names for privacy and safety reasons. You think knowing Dave’s full name is a good idea, it isn’t - ask Dave and his family.
@@lindap8101 I'm simply pointing out the hipocrysy of the media releasing his life story in a bad scenario, and not in a good one. I don't blame him for not releasing it himself
@@cnixon4444
Understood. The media can be bloodthirsty and irresponsible. But if an officer commits a crime they (police department) have to release his full name in accordance with law. If not, the officers’ names are mostly protected.
MUCH LOVE AND RESPECT TO THE OFFICER WHO COULDNT STAND BY AN WATCH THIS CHILD SUFFER!!!! THATS WHAT A TRUE HERO LOOKS LIKE!!!
Whoever left those wires like that, need to be charged with neglect and whatever else other charges that can be thrown at them. Throw the damn book at them. They can’t expect some crappy yellow tape to be the only thing protecting those wires. Hell… some kids probably don’t even know what the yellow tape means. That poor precious baby boy will be scarred for life. I pray he had a speedy recovery and is healed completely. Ugh this makes me SICK…. the negligence just INFURIATES me.
I was wondering the same thing. Someone needs to get sued and charged.
Nobody "Left" those wires like that. Storms moving through the area recently knocked that line and dozens of other live wires down. It takes time to shut off power to certain grids. In the meantime the only thing that can be done is to put up caution tape. You can't sue anyone, since no one is at fault.
Nah, the parents should be charged with neglect if anything. Either from not watching their kids or from not instilling in them don't go into areas you're not allowed.
You cannot watch this without crying. Thank you and love to all the officers involved who took such wonderful care of this young man. God Bless you all and God bless this boy. I pray he makes a full recovery.
It's crazy when the officer pulls up you can actually hear the electricity still going through his little body! And the fact that the other officer still says "I've gotta get him!" He restored my faith in my fellow man. WELL DONE! I hope Blake is doing well, he's got a ton of people rooting for him.
Wow, I didn't have my volume up. I just across it by accident. I didn't want rematch. It was too much for me. I came in there to read up dates on the boy.
@@funnygirlever The little boy lived through this horrible ordeal and is recovering, best to my knowledge.
This made me so proud of the men in blue. No hesitation at all.
Oh the cop that got him… ANGEL!!!! His body cam footage 😢you can’t ask for a better officer. ❤
That poor baby. I bet he loses both of his hands but I sincerely hope he makes it through this. His screams brought to tears to my eyes. It was so primal and agonizing. Best wishes to the little dude and thank you to the officers who intervened ❤
The crying and screaming was coming from the other little boy who was there, the kid who was electrocuted was unconscious and when he did come to, you didn't hear a peep from him.
Regardless though, good on those cops for not hesitating.
You don't scream after you've been hit with that much voltage. You go into extreme shock and are completely unconscious.
@@lakaiskates8064 There is video from the perspective of the officer that rescued the boy. They transported him in the police car and he came to and screamed much of the way to the hospital. The officer stayed right with him the entire time and continued reassuring the boy. I haven't seen any update as to how the boy is doing. Thank goodness for the officer's actions.
@@lakaiskates8064 ruclips.net/video/IGeULPzZmEk/видео.html
@@rpkett he was screaming in the car on the way to the hospital.
This country needs to see this. This is what cops do all the time! Protect and serve. They have to make hard decisions and when it comes to people in trouble, they show up and do things they weren't trained for. Total respect.
Yeah, like when the Hells Angel's do toy drives.
Stfu And don't turn this political this man risked his life the man did has nothing to do with police officer
This country also needs to see this so their children won’t cross a yellow warning takpe and end up like that kid. This could’ve been avoidable.
@@gilbert3152 Or when a hooker hires her felon brother to watch her kids.
Pretty sure police tax the citizens more than anything, followed by violating people’s rights. Then responding to all the Karen 911 calls. Arrest some vagrants and dopers. And least among them all is helping people and being a true hero.
I commend this officer for doing what he did. It was outstanding. But it’s also not the norm for officers.
As a father this made me very upset and the police officers did a great job i have also said that to a child in great pain to just let it out you will see that in the other video. I hope the little boy is going to be ok
It was so sad hearing him scream all the way to the hospital. I hope this kid recovers ok!!!
Please can everyone say a prayer for this little boy ❤
Crying watching this. Those offices are angels and hope they all get promoted
THIS SHOULD'VE BEEN ON GOOD MORNING AMERICA!
WHAT A GREAT WAY TO IMPROVE POLICE RELATIONS WITH THE COMMUNITY AND BUILD THE TRUST BACK!
GREAT JOB TO ALL THE OFFICERS INVOLVED ❤
True
I just wanted to cry. A big thank you goes to that police officer who saved his life! ❤ Poor little guy. I can't even imagine his pain. God bless him. I pray that he heals well. 🙏🏼 Bless his family also.❤🙏🏼
Heroes one and all. If ever my child were in this kind of need I pray for a hero like this. God bless every one of them.
Awesome job to this officer and the others who assisted.
My prayers for all involved, I hope he is on the road to recovery ... a year has passed but havent heard many updates on his condition ...
I saw on another video that the boy did survive but since he did, his name and details of his injuries were withheld.
Also, the officer received a medal of Valor
@@justkim9827 This is something all parents need to talk with their kids about ... his screams in the car broke my heart ... I immediately went to visit my 6 year old grandson ... I pulled this up and we had a long talk on safety ... will most likely have many because he had questions on electricity ... thought it was just like flipping on a light switch ...
Awesome job! Not only did they risked their lives to save him, they see a car down a few blocks (that probably was described on radio) and help other officers looking for it by noticing it and telling them were to go without missing a beat. To top their own great job they get in the patrol car and take that child to the ER themselves, all while being supportive and talking to him through the whole ride. I wish we could have more of these type of cops! I really hope that boy is better. His poor hands and he sounded like he was in such pain. I can’t imagine.
What a great cop, I love the fact he did not wait for the ambulance, I promise every cop there would have this one is the hero. Also, the yellow tape is there for a reason people.
Anyone seeing this video forward to any child that doesn’t know how dangerous this can be. As a mom myself, this is incredibly heartbreaking 💔 and so saddening to see.
This should be shown UNEDITED in every school even as early as elementary as a part of the real education to stay away from downed powerlines. Only this level of shock can get through to kids. Perhaps mute screams after a minute, but not a second sooner. This will save countless lives.
LOL. Was that intentional to say "only this level of shock"? We need natural selection again
Maybe middle school, not elementary, I think they’re too young to really understand what is happening here aside from loud noises and colors
You will traumatise the poor kids.
just showed both of my 6yr olds this. they now see the dangers of electricity. its only truamatising if your soft.@@gordonaliasme1104
These kids were elementary so I think elementary would be necessary. Maybe start it 3 - 12. IDK or get parent signatures first. I would have wanted things like this shown to my children. My youngest is in 6th grade and his school last year 5th grade these kids were bad. One girl in his class caught the girls bathroom on fire. So teaching them and actually showing them the consequences of doing certain things can cause horrible injury or death. When I was a kid 6th grade we had dare to keep kids drug free and police would come and teach us about drugs and gangs and show us gun violence and they showed some scary stuff but I guarantee it got through to some. Being real and honest is the best lesson. You make it a teachable moment. Just my opinion.
Everyone should know how to step to and from a live wire. Unbelievable courage from that cop.
Praying for him to completely heal...Amen
I truly pray these officers get amazing respect from there community. My heart hurts for this precious baby. May god help this baby boy heal and give him nothing but blessings ❤❤🙏🙏
I've investigated or participated in a few investigations involving live wire incidents. Sadly, there was loss of life & some serious injuries. It's never easy to see this. Despite all the training to avoid the area until it is confirmed the power is cut, it is instinctive to rush in & help. Good for them & I hope the boy fully recovered.
Fantastic job done. Did FOX 2 Detroit made a follo up? Would be so nice to hear more about the boy and also to hear more from the officers.
This is heartbreaking to watch, I prey the young chap makes a full recovery. Well done officers, there's a lot of instances where police risk their lives to save ours and it very rarely gets shown to the public.
I'm glad they just took him in. Thanks. Poor kid.
The poor kid was hot to the touch. I cant believe he survived that. Ive been hit by 120 before and that ain't fun (not just a zap, i was the path to ground from my hand to my feet), i cant imagine what he went through and hopefully he never has to remember.
He didn't feel 120. Those are high voltage, between 7000 and 23,000 volts depending on their intended use. The wire was probably dead, not carrying the usual voltage, but those cables are super capacitive, he probably had the equivalent of a couple thousand volts for a split second as all the remaining energy dumped through him like a flash bulb on a camera.
@RKSNomad I never said he did? I said I did and it was horrible so I can't imagine what he went through implying that i understood it was much higher voltage.
@@SirFloofy001I can relate to this too.. this didn’t happen to me, it happened to a friend. We were all kids, probably early 80’s.
We didn’t have cellular phones nor did we have insta, or fb, not even my space, hell, we didn’t have computers! One of us had to run home and tell someone or call the police from a phone that had a cord, attached to the wall. It’s absolutely mind blowing how far we’ve come in technology !
Thankfully, our friends all helped him get to the hospital quickly that day.
I hope he is doing well every day for the rest of his life ❤️🩹
I wish for Blake to come thru this stronger and healthier and thriving for all his days!!❤️🩹
I hope you see this one day Blake!!✌🏼
@@RKSNomad
well thankful for the kid, voltage is almost irrelevant. its the amperage that hurts and kills a person bub.... you can literally buy 1 million volt stun guns that actually have 1 million volts in them, they just hurt a bit. maybe do some research before you attempt to educate some one...
@chasejordan22 not entirely true, just what the school system says to simplify the danger. Check out electroBOOM. He has a great explanation of voltage and current and its dangers.
To hear them screaming & to hear the live wire. Oh my word. So glad they made the choice to get him. They couldn’t just left him there all scared but no, they all worked together and saved him life. I feel like sometimes if people don’t see anyone doing anything the others won’t jump in. & so glad he is safe
Got him there in 4 minutes,,,he is alive one year later....can't find any article on his recovery.
Thank u to the police who saved this boy!! God bless u all
We really need an update on this boy! 💙
Another site said he fully recovered and the officer was awarded.
@@amymusick5455 Yeah, I saw that too. Said it happened in 2022.
it did not say he fully recovered@@amymusick5455
Beautiful how much compassion in action...no words...just feelings of flesh and blood ,terribly painful to see for both the cops and Us !
The other officers talking bout don’t touch him SMH I’m so GLAD officer David didn’t listen
Actually that is not correct. A single brave officer risked his life whilst the rest stood by. Only after he started to drag the boy and it was obviously safe did the rest join in. Any credit or bravery award goes to that single officer.
You're watching the wrong video it seems, because that's definitely not what I saw
Was a horrible situation but nice to see the officers coming together to help that boy.
That poor little boy... kudos to those officers risking the unknown to save that young boy
Those officers are to be commended and are heroes ! Thank you officers ! God Bless you and God Bless that young man ! Praying he makes a full recovery !
There's another video that runs longer and is even more heart warming.
heartwarming?
As close to the school as this seems they should have had someone there!
Sometimes children either dont realize how dangerous or they are daredevils
School was shut down for power outage. Kid was staying with relatives who didn’t get notified from school because they weren’t his guardians. Saw a line on the ground…. Darwin took the wheel
@@Justin.501
It doesnt change that a staff member or power company person should be there.
It looked to me like the school is just there in the background.
Though that may not be the case.
@@stephaniehowe0973 I do agree, as I’ve been that kid left to walk to school after my parents left for work not knowing I didn’t have school today. I showed up, no lights, no cars, and nothing. Thankfully I was walking distance.

I cant imagine the pain this precious child went through! Thank you for rescuing him!
I hope that little boy recovered from this. My entire body, mind and soul aches for him after watching this
His cries were a relief but also sad he didn’t use any intelligible words. His cries sound like he’s trying to speak but can’t anymore. I hope he fully recovers
His hands looked like they suffered third-degree burns and he’s basically just come out of a massive seizure to find himself in a strange vehicle being held by two strangers. The amount of pain and disorientation he’s experiencing at only 8 years of age is not something one can really put words to, so screams are probably all one could hope for at that juncture.
@@OneBiasedOpinion the hands didn't bother me as much as the burn across the top of his head. His brain took some hits. I've been electrocuted and after waking up I spoke like a drunkard but I was not out as long as this lil man was. Hoping his youth will aid in his recovery forsure
@@OneBiasedOpinion they shouldve threw that screaming tard out
❤Those offices saved this little guy Thank goodness they took it upon their self to pick him up and take him to the hospital you guys are truly gifts of God❤❤❤
This broke my heart deeply, thank you to the officer for his bravery!
That was just heartbreaking. Thank God for our first responders
No, thank the first responders, god not included.

@@paulhubrich3655 lol what? I’m Cthulhu not Satan. Also in the Bible how many people does god kill bs Satan? Gods in the millions while Satan has like 5? Frankly god seems more like a demon then Satan does.
Gave me the chills …. Having a 13 years old son.. great job 👏🏻 blue and black
There, but for the Grace of God, could have been anyone elses, your or my kid! Thank you Officers!! Heroes jump in no matter what!!
Oh that poor baby!! The officers were heroic taking care of you g Blake and protecting him. Thank you.
saw both video clips, since it's been a year ago where is the update ?
This is prime example of american education not teaching kids the extreme danger of electricity
he may not know that electricity is dangerous but he probably knows what an LGBTQ drag queen is though
Helping them change their pronouns is MUCH more important obviously. 🙄
This is why all lines should be underground
not many cities can afford that. Many power lines and wires are usually underground in nicer neighborhoods. I know this because i sell Frontier Fiber Optic internet, and the fiber optic is usually above ground if the power lines above. Vice versa
"Treat others the way you want to be treated". The Golden Rule in action.
Why wasn’t the line turned off? It’s the cities fault that the boy will probably lose his hands.
Detroit Edison.
I dont believe that's how powerlines work. I doubt he'll lose his hands. You can see a better view of his hands in another video.
more important...why the hell are they still above ground...put them in the ground like a first world country...not some 3rd world shithole with exposed cables
Do you know the whole situation? Who knocked the pole down? Was it the police or the subject!

This guy is a hero and the cop we want responding to every call!! Tell me all cops are racist after watching the way he genuinely cares for this boy… love seeing videos like this
Massive respect to those very brave officers xxx
The footage is dated 8-30-2022. Has there been any updates on his recovery. 😢 I don't know how they keep it together on the daily.
This incident happened in 2022. Is there any news on if the boy is still alive? That poor young lad didn’t deserve that.
The likely reason theres no update on the boy is because of the costs & trauma it had on him. His cries were that of a being who no longer could speak his mother tongue...his unfathomable pain was all he knew.
If his fingers fried like that, there likely were other spots on his body severely fried which likely includes his eyes, toes, certain internal organs, & genitals. Its similar to a person in the electric chair...their eyes go early on.
No 8 year old baby should ever wake up & feel such pain having occurred out of no where on a regular day after school. After that, he had to suffer the pain of the surgeries while drugged out of his mind 80% of the time to escape the pain. Then he has to be told what happened to him & introduced to his new body w/ extremely limited functions at best no matter how you cut it.
Thats way too much to put on a child's plate...even w/o eyes to cry out of, he'd likely cry to the point of it being inhumane to try & film him to get views about his daring rescue & survival story.
People tend to have their entire faces electrocuted off when surviving such electrocution. For all we know, his tongue was completely fried limiting his will to even attempt to speak let alone his capability to pull it off with such a wound. That poor child needs a visit from Jesus & a miracle to remove the pain from his life one way or the other.
As he was getting taken out of the car it looked like his scalp was burned 😢
There may have been some brain damage as well, considering his head had significant burns
its a year old. they recently got awards and it said he would not have survived but for them
This broke my heart. I’m glad he was still alive and the officers responded quick to take him. ❤
Has there been any investigation into the power company's handling of a downed wire? Seems a crew simply put up caution tape around the scene? That seems like a completely half-assed attempt and somebody needs to answer some questions. I haven't been able to find out more to the story that may cover why that wire was the way it is. Either way these cops are heroes and i'm glad the boy lived. Can't imagine the heartache.
I don't think a power crew had made it out there yet. They would cut the power to a downed line right away as they wouldn't handle it.
Can aaaaaaanybody freaking explain WHAT happened here so we can all learn and this won’t happen again? Anyone?
@@iliafigueroa4820 no touch metal UH OH wires
@@iliafigueroa4820 Powerlines have a high enough voltage where the electricity can travel a fair distance through the ground. The kid got electrocuted because he got too close to the powerline, and had a high voltage current running through his body the whole time he was next to it.
@@user-wj6jh1cd5n
I do not think so, many said he actually had contact with the wire. That he tried to move it. Also, look at his hands.
so, an electricity line falls down and someone puts up caution tape and leaves? wouldn't whoever put up the caution tape hang around to make sure no one crosses the thin line of plastic? what am i missing?
It was likely the police who put up the tape. My guess whoever gave the order to tape it off failed to have a man stationed there. The power company likely wouldn't tape it off, they would more likely have just cut the line
These police officers are heroes in my eyes. This video is heart breaking, at the same time heart warming. Thank you for saving this precious child. Thank you for the love, patience and kindness you showed him on the way to the hospital. I can't even imagine the pain this poor boy was in. I hope he is doing better.
God bless them! I really wish that child is alive and recovering 🙏.
Uncommon courage, Thank God for that officer risking his life to save another. Enough already of defunding the police. We need these men and women who are called to protect and serve.Period
Some are bad but some are good as seen in this video
The officer is an angel.I hope the poor baby is fine,seems he was heading home from school since you can see the school right across and whoever left that live wire should be charged for endangering the life of both responders and the child regardless of the yellow warning tape.The poor baby probably is Brian damaged judging by the burn in his head😢
(sorry in advance) or Brain damaged
It looks like there was some marking, but kids wouldn't pay attention, are curious and it's clearly not enough. This should be shown UNEDITED in every school even as early as elementary as a part of the real education to stay away from downed powerlines. Only this level of shock can get through to kids. Perhaps mute screams after a minute, but not a second sooner. This will save countless lives.
These are called heroes.
I cant stop crying & praying for this little angel! Can someone please give us a update on how he's doing ❤
Incredible police work.
