Mississippi -- Boys will be boys. After being told by their father that no one was to swim in the family’s pool without adult supervision, Kurt and Luke Shaw of Kosciusko did just the opposite – they let three friends go swimming when their parents weren't home last Wednesday.
Later that same day when 16-year-old Ar-Riquez Kern was lying at the bottom of the pool near death, 11-year-old Kurt again did something his father had told him not to do – he jumped in and pulled his drowning friend to the surface and saved his life.
His father attributes Kurt's calmness to his karate instructor Donald Martin. "(Martin) has been working with Kurt on building his confidence," said Frank. "That contributed to his calmness."
