Dad Saves 2-Year-Old Son from Swarm of Bees, Stung Over 20 Times
The dad’s heroic actions possibly saved his son’s life!
In a heart-stopping incident that unfolded in September, a father’s quick thinking and fearless actions saved his two-year-old son from a terrifying attack by a swarm of bees, People Magazine reports.
The commotion began when the dad, Matt Krueger, heard his son’s panicked screams outside the house. Without hesitation, he sprung into action, frantically rushing towards the source of the distress. As he approached, he was hit by an overwhelming sight: his precious two-year-old son engulfed in more than 20 bees.
“There’s a fenced-in backyard there that they can typically play in because we’ve got some play equipment for the kids and stuff back there, and while we’re inside, we keep a close eye on them,” the father explains. “But I had just given them some snacks and water bottles at the front door and sent them around back.”
“As they’re heading into the backyard, and I’m watching them from the window inside, I see him just start screaming,” Matt said. “I wasn’t sure what was going on at first, but I immediately just ran out the front door and ran around to him to see that he was being stung by a bunch of bees.”
