“They were in the water for quite some time,” said Riley. “When the baby was found the baby was clinging to her. The mother did the best she could to keep her child up over the water.”
“The baby also had a backpack that was helping her float on her back and she was holding on to her mom,” she added.
The image of that little girl clinging to her lifeless mother will forever be etched in the minds of the Beaumont police—but in the wake of tragic loss, they find hope in the rescue of her sweet little one.
According to Riley, there is no question that this brave mama’s final act “absolutely saved the child’s life.”
Praise the God of miracles who makes His mighty hand known in times of distress, assuring us that in this, He is sovereign still.
Please join us in praying for this woman’s family, that they may find peace and comfort during this unimaginable time.
