An Escondido mother found her two-year-old floating in the swimming pool yesterday. The child was unresponsive after the mother attempted CPR, but she did have a pulse. The child was then airlifted to Rady Children’s Hospital. NBC 7’s Matt Rascon has the details.
A two-year-old girl nearly drowned in a pool in Escondido Monday afternoon, Escondido police confirmed.
The toddler’s mother found her floating, face down, rescued her and gave her CPR until officers arrived.
The pool is located at a house in the 2000 block of Oak Hill Drive.
The girl had a pulse but was unresponsive. By the time she was airlifted to the hospital, she was awake and crying, police said.
There is no information on her condition.
The back door was likely left open giving the girl access to the pool, officials said.
