Florida Deputies Rescue 6-Year-Old Boy with Autism from Pond on Christmas

A 6-year-old boy with autism, known to be attracted to water, was rescued from a Florida pond on Christmas Day by police, less than 18 months after a previous incident led to him taking swimming lessons. The boy, identified as Coco, was found in chest-deep water and was unharmed. Following his earlier escape, his family took safety precautions including swimming lessons and discussions about protective measures. Authorities emphasize the importance of multiple safety layers for children with autism or special needs.
