Mom warns after her 10-year-old kid passes out while having fun in the ocean Declan, 10, was playing in the water when he suddenly notified his mother that he wasn’t feeling well. Shortly after, he felt “disoriented,” lost consciousness, and started vomiting. His mother is now issuing a caution to all parents.
A Massachusetts mother, Heather Cassini, is warning others after her 10-year-old son, Declan, passed out while playing in the ocean during a family beach trip on July 4 in Hampton Beach, New Hampshire. Cassini, still shaken by the incident, shared the experience to raise awareness about the risks of spending time in the ocean, especially for children.
On the day of the incident, Declan suddenly felt unwell, and shortly after, he lost consciousness. His mother is urging families to be more cautious, especially when enjoying water activities during hot weather, as heat exhaustion or dehydration can quickly set in, even when having fun in the water. The incident highlights the importance of staying hydrated and watching for signs of fatigue, particularly in young children who may not recognize the symptoms themselves.
Despite the scare, Declan recovered quickly after medical attention. Cassini hopes her story will encourage parents to stay vigilant and take necessary precautions during beach outings.
