Boy's quick thinking saves family stranded on Lake Lansing
Deputies say it happened shortly after 1:40 p.m. on July 5, 2025. The boy told the Deputies that his mom, another adult, and two children were on the raft, and he was concerned because they couldn't reach shore and the raft was taking on water. Only one person was wearing a life vest.
Marine Patrol assisted the Ingham County Sheriff's Office and thanked the 11-year-old for remaining calm and clear when he spoke to dispatchers about where he was and what he needed.
