In the video below, 2 little boys were playing on a floating dock in New Orleans, Louisiana.
And in no time at all, the situation turned into a parent's worst nightmare.
The video, shot by Gary Waddle, who owned the floating dock the boys were playing on, showed them when they first jumped onto the platform.
The boy had been with their mom, who was feeding their neighbor's pets as a favor while they were away.
Unbeknownst to her, the boys had wandered off and had thought to start playing on the dock.
At first, they were content with pushing off and sitting down on the platform as it eventually made its way back to the boardwalk.
Then they started dipping their feet in the water.
The situation then escalated, as one of the boys decided to jump into the water and balance himself on the dock and the boardwalk.
Luckily, his brother was there to pull him back onto the platform, but the danger was not over.
The whole time, the owner of the dock was filming, wondering what the boys' next move would be.
But once one of them jumped back into the water and couldn't make his way back onto the dock or the boardwalk, he decided enough was enough.
Check out the daring rescue in the video below, and please SHARE this story to showcase the dangers of leaving kids unsupervised near water!
