A quick-thinking Texas mom whose actions helped save the life of a drowning toddler was recently recognized for her heroism, alongside first responders who attended the emergency.

Mom of four Brandi Rowntree leapt into action when she heard a woman scream for help at Linda Spurlock Park in North Richland Hills on June 9. She saw two small feet sticking out of the water and “immediately jumped into the pond to pull the boy from the water, and begin CPR,” the North Richland Hills Police Department stated.
