Aneres Bellefont, a 10-year-old African-American from Indiana, has been praised as a hero for saving the lives of two individuals. Henry County Sheriff John M. Sproles presented her with an award in recognition of her quick thinking, which resulted in the saving of lives.
According to 11Alive, on January 8, Aneres called 911 after she found a man passed out in a car near her place. She also saw a lady knocked out near the car. She thought they weren’t breathing, and she couldn’t see any other adults around.
Amidst the situation, Aneres did not panic. She helped out the emergency personnel by telling them exactly where to find the two adults. She stayed on the line, keeping dispatchers updated on the condition of the two adults.
When the medics arrived, they used Narcan on both of them before rushing them to Henry Community Health Hospital. One of the adults even ended up in the ICU.
Meanwhile, the Sheriff’s Office posted on social media, saying, “Aneres, you are a true hero! Two adults are alive today because you courageously took control of the emergency you found yourself in. You did all of the right things!”
