Boy recovering after shock of his life
This kid is lucky to be alive. Take this opportunity to tell your children about the danger of getting close to low hanging power lines, folks!
A 7-year-old boy was recovering Monday after he touched a live wire while playing outside Sunday.
Neighbors said the boy, Robert Johnston, was walking with his mother, another woman and a friend through a wooded area near his home when he somehow touched a power line. Power officials said the line sent 19,900 volts of electricity through his body.
“I don’t think any of us really slept last night because we really didn’t know if this child was going to survive or not,” neighbor Sara Smith said.
The boy was in stable condition at Shriner’s Hospital in Boston.
