MIAMI — It took seconds for two-year-old Alayna Ishmael to walk away from a play ground at the mall, walk out of the mall and find an outdoor decorative water fountain to play with.
The game would nearly kill her. A surveillance video captured her climbing up to the edge and falling inside. She struggled in the water for about 2 minutes until a boy spotted her. A woman pulled her out alive.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue spokesman Arnold Piedrahita shared the viral video Monday in his personal Facebook. In the past month, five children under the age of three have drowned in Miami-Dade and Broward, he said. “If me posting this video scares someone enough to ... install a pool gate then my job is done,” Piedrahita posted on Facebook.
