Mothers are heroes: Happy Mother’s Day
Just hours before Mother’s Day, this mother held her 7-month-old baby out of the window of a burning apartment so her child could breathe. The incident happened last night in another country.
Her name is Vanessa Scott, and during the fire, she apparently, “slid her baby out of a fifth-floor window through the child guard bars so that she could breathe and not suffocate on smoke”
Firefighters scaled a ladder to rescue the 7-month-old baby and her mother.
