SCARBOROUGH — A 7-year-old child from Cape Elizabeth was
released from the hospital and “doing
well” following a near drowning July 12 at Wassamki Springs Campground,
Scarborough police said last week.
According to a post on the police department’s
Facebook page maintained by dispatcher Jamie Higgins, the unresponsive child
was carried to shore by his mother and a 13-year-old, where a lifeguard
preformed CPR. After the child was revived he was taken to Maine Medical Center
for further treatment.
The child was part of a group of “day campers”
on a field trip with Cape Elizabeth Community Services. Scarborough police
declined to name the lifeguard involved.
“At the family’s request, we will not be
releasing the name of the child,” said Officer Craig Hebert, who noted, “the
incident is still under investigation.
