Mom rescues son after getting a hunch

Associated Press

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. - A woman saved her 13-year-old son's life after following a hunch that the 4-foot deep trench he was digging collapsed on him, officials said.

Dylan Scott was recovering at home Monday from the scrapes and bruises he sustained when the sand fell in on him.

"It's creepy," he said. "I just remember something really heavy fell on me."

Wendy Scott, 41, said she didn't see Dylan when she retuned to the beach after briefly joining her 10-year old in the water Sunday.

Other beach visitors told her Dylan had gone swimming, but she sensed he was buried in the sand, she said.

Onlookers began helping her dig when she clawed through the sand and touched Dylan's head, she said.

The boy wasn't breathing and had turned blue by the time rescuers arrived, she said. He was revived at a hospital.

sorry...double posts.

Nice story and I'm really glad that the boy is okay. However I'm not sure this would classify as being mother's intuition but rather common sense.

You see your child digging something as large as a 4 foot trench and you go jump in the water. Then you get out and notice he's gone...it seems obvious to go over to the digging area and look for him.

So thank goodness the kid is doing well and a big props to the mom for caring enough to notice he was missing but to say she "sensed" it seems a little silly. More like just figured it out.

This sounds like a conspiracy to me. I'd have to see a photo of said "trench" just in case it doesn't look like the sort of "trench" a 13-year-old could make.
