A 13-year-old heroine saves the life of a 4-year-old. – Franceinfo

A courageous act. From the top of her 13 years, Loucia Pinto probably saved a life this Sunday, August 15, while she was walking with her mother by the river. In the distance, the young girl saw a 4-year-old child. Alone and disoriented, the latter advanced along the river and approached the edge dangerously despite the warnings. Sensing the danger coming, Loucia Pinto first tried to reason with the child: “He was ordered not to jump, he looked at us and he jumped into the water. While my mom called the fire department I wondered what I could do. And without realizing it, I threw away my things and jumped into the water to rescue him. “

In the city, everyone praises his courage. Stéphane Triquart, mayor of Mussidan testifies: “In Nouvelle-Aquitaine, there were four deaths due to drowning this weekend, it was a rather painful weekend. Without his courage we would have an additional human catastrophe.” After this gesture, the Elysée called the Dordogne prefecture, the young girl could receive a medal of honor for an act of courage and dedication.
