She described the scene as akin to a horror movie as her husband puller the three-year old free
A mum was left horrified after watching her three-year old daughter fall deep into a pond after the toddler mistakenly thought thick algae was grass. Michelle Rowland has now called for a safety net to be placed over the area to prevent further accidents.
Following the rescue Evelyn began vomiting "murky algae-ridden water" and has since developed a chest infection - for which is she is now being treated with antibiotics. Charnwood Borough Council, meanwhile - the authority responsible for the park - has apologised to the family, but advised they are unable to treat the algae as the chemicals used in the process would impact the local wildlife.
"We all went to have a look at it and before I knew it Evelyn had ran off. As I turned around she was running full steam ahead around the pond and I yelled for her to stop. I could see she understood there was water, as she ran around the area where the water was clear, which was on the left side of the fountain.
Michelle continued: "She was so quick and the whole thing happened in under thirty seconds. But at the time it was like watching a horror film unfold in slow motion. I watched her head disappear under the water. She sunk like a stone.
