STEWARTVILLE An 18-month-old boy is in a medically induced coma after falling into a retention pond Wednesday afternoon.
First responders were called about 4:10 p.m. to the 700 block of Willow Green Court Northeast for a report of an 18-month-old boy who had fallen into a retention pond. The child was being watched by a family friend at the time of the incident.
The woman reported that she was outside with the boy and her own 18-month-old child when she looked away for a couple of seconds, Olmsted County Sheriff s Capt. Scott Behrns said. The woman thought the child may have run around the house and checked the front yard, but did not find him. The woman then called the child s parent who was already on the way to the residence.
