7-Year-Old Saves Toddler From Drowning

When a toddler slipped into a family pool, only his 7-year-old brother noticed.

Still a child himself, he rushed to help without hesitation.

And the entire story, from the near-tragedy to the heroic rescue, was caught on video for the world to see!

At a private residence in Sao Luis, Maranhao, Brazil, a little boy fell into his family"s swimming pool.

Almost no one heard anything. But one person leapt into action.

His heroic rescuer was not a lifeguard or parent or even an adult. He was a child himself at only 7 years old.

As his aunt explained when she posted the video that you"ll see below, he raced to rescue his toddler brother.

Anyone who grew up as an older sibling will understand how powerful the instinct to protect your younger sibling can be.

In this case, there is no doubt that he saved his brother"s life.

The aunt writes:

"My 7-year-old nephew was drawing and heard the noise in the pool."

As you"ll see in the video, he quickly sprang into action.

"He had the most incredible reaction for a child of 7 years."

And it"s so fortunate that he did.

"Neither I nor my sister heard the noise just the desperate cries of my nephew."

Because this is what had happened to the precious little toddler.

As you will see in the video, it looks like he wanders off in a matter of seconds.

Young children have short attention spans and a lot of energy. A moment taken to look for something in the refrigerator or answer a phone call is all that it takes for a child to vanish.

Most of the time, you"ll just find them playing with a toy or trying to get a coveted snack.

If you have something as potentially dangerous as a pool, however, all that it takes is a few seconds for the child to wander off and a few minutes of not being able to find them for that misstep to be fatal.

As you can see, it appears that the toddler reaches for something but, being a toddler, slips into the pool without making much noise.

Within seconds, his 7-year-old brother is there to save the day.

The brother even makes sure that his little sibling is the first out of the pool.

They then go and tell a bewildered adult what has happened.

It is worth noting that one of the problems in this situation is the diaper.

Children do not psychically know how to swim (let"s not weigh into the water birth debate right now, please), but survival instincts can help some children figure it out really quickly.

That said, diapers can act as flotation devices, preventing a baby or toddler from getting their face above water.

Toddlers who fall into pools with a diaper on are at extreme risk.

The aunt of these two children shared the video as a warning to other parents.

But also because the 7-year-old"s heroics deserve praise.

He did what any older sibling would do in a heartbeat, but he deserves recognition for that.

Take a look at the full video below to see just how quickly things can go wrong.

And also how quickly things can go right.

Kendra Wilkinson: I Taught My 7-Year-Old Son All About Sex!

That Kendra Wilkinson is always good for a cringe, huh?

If there’s anything you can count on her for, it’s to always say or do something so embarrassing that it will inspire you to cringe for the rest of your days. Or something about boobs.

Yep, Kendra is one of the most ridiculous individuals to ever exist, and though she has to know that about herself at this point, she’s making no effort to change.

In fact, as the years go by, she’s just getting zanier and zanier.

Well, “zany,” “inappropriate and alarming,” it’s all the same thing with her really.

This time, Kendra shocked us all by admitting in a new interview that her seven-year-old son, little Hank Jr., knows all about the birds and the bees.

Not by accident, either — the weird kid in second grade didn’t spill the beans on the playground or anything.

Kendra took it upon herself to let her son, who, again, is only seven years old, know the ins and outs of sex.

Bizarre, right?

“I have no shame,” she explained in the interview, like we didn’t know that already.

“I even tell little Hank sometimes, ‘Go to bed. Mom and Pop are going to have sex. We got to have some sex, Hank, okay? Go to your room. Play your video games."”

So not only does her kid already know about sex, she told him about it so he would understand when to leave them alone.

It wasn’t some parenting belief she holds about being open and honest about everything with your children, it’s so he could entertain himself whenever she got an urge.

But it seems like after this little revelation, Kendra realized that perhaps what she said sounded a little strange: she added “You don’t understand. These kids know earlier and earlier now.”

Yes, Kendra. They know because, for instance, their parents teach them about it so they can have distraction-free sex whenever they please.

You know, just as an example.

Kendra also said that she not only teaches her kids about sex, she teaches them about anything and everything about her.

“It starts now with teaching them who I am,” she said. “They’ve been up to the Playboy Mansion. I have nothing to hide. And if you don’t have shame or regret.”

… And if you don’t have shame or regret, what? If you don’t have shame or regret then you can do things like take a seven-year-old and a toddler to the House That Porn Built?

If you don’t have shame or regret then you can do literally anything you want to under the guise of “hey, no shame or regret”?

Oh, Kendra. Who can keep up?!

Farrah Abraham, 7-Year-Old Daughter TRASHED on the Internet Over This Photo

Teen Mom OG star Farrah Abraham is easily the worst celebrity parent out there … but

What happened to her seven-year-old daughter, Sophia, is probably the worst thing we’ve ever heard when it comes to the Backdoor Teen Mom.  

See that adorable, innocuous photo there? 

That’s Sophia, and as you can see, she won the cheer stick for being the greatest cheerleader in the history of all cheerleaders or whatever.  

You know Farrah; any opportunity to exploit her child – as well as Farrah’s own vulva – will be an opportunity to strike while the iron’s infested with … something. 

Unfortunately, followers of both Farrah and Sophia’s Instagram pages (yes, seven-year-old Sophia has her own page, as sad as that is to say) dragged poor Sophia all over the internet, slamming her looks. 

Some of the commenters were less awful, and simply wrote, “Kid needs braces, bro,” while others were … less nice. 

Another comment read, “Where is child protective services when you need them.”  

Worse yet, one of Farrah’s “fans” actually wrote, “Your kid looks like a gremlin. I don’t think anything can make her pretty.” 

In case we’ve all been caught unaware for whatever reason, Sophia Abraham – despite the gremlin her mother is – is a child … a seven-year-old child who doesn’t need your bulls–t. 

Yeah, she’s been exploited and subjected to force-fed modeling tactics, but she’s still just a kid. 

There’s absolutely no excuse to drag a child over her looks, or because of who her mother happens to be. 

Especially adults – what the hell are you even thinking? 

If you wanna go after Farrah, go hard, because Farrah is the crud that builds up beneath the dock in a pollluted lake. 

But her child – a child? 

Kids these days get enough bullying from their peers; they don’t need adults throwing cheap shots at them, too, just because they don’t agree with what the child’s porn star mother does.  

This poor little girl’s been through enough. 

Isn’t it time people left her the hell alone and allowed her to make, at least, an attempt to grow up in normal circumstances? 

It’s not like she’s got some great fair shake to begin with. 

Shameful.

Starving 7-Year-Old Tries To Sell Teddy Bear For Food

A police officer in Franklin, Ohio was called to a local drugstore, where he found a young boy in the most dire of circumstances.

Officer Steve Dunham found the seven-year-old, and learned his story.

“It broke my heart. He told me he was trying to sell his stuffed animal to get money for food because he hadn’t eaten in several days,” Dunham told WLWT.

Dunham took the little boy to Subway, where they both "said a little prayer and ate dinner together."  After, they headed to the police station.

An investigation into the boy"s home life was immediately launch.  Police found out that he was living with his four brothers – aged 11, 12, 15 and 17, according to People – in a home "full of garbage, cat urine, and liquor bottles."

The boy"s parents, who had no idea he had even left the house, where subsequently charged with ten counts of child endangerment.

Each brother was placed with a relative, and as of press time.  The parents, who pled not guilty to first-degree misdemeanors, are not allowed to contact any of their children. 

According to a police report filed by two other officers who visited teh home, "[the parents created] a substantial risk of health and safety by neglecting the cleanliness in the residence, having a large amount of bugs and spoiled food throughout the residence, not having properly prepared and packaged food for the minor children to eat, and allowing a 7-year-old child to wander from the residence without their permission or knowledge, in an attempt to locate food."

Franklin Police Chief Russ Whitman commended Officer Dunham"s actions, that went beyond just bringing the boy to the station.

“(Police) treated them like their own kids, and that’s exactly what law enforcement does in situations like this," Whitman told WLWT.

"How would we want someone to treat our kids? Hopefully, these officers’ actions change these kids’ lives and maybe change the lives of the parents to become better parents."
