'I'm glad I was here': Woman praised for saving little boy and his pregnant mum
Jennifer Potter is being praised for her quick-thinking after she saved a mother and her young son.
Assistant manager Jennifer was working at an apartment complex in Indiana when she heard screams coming from the pool.
Spotting a young three-year-old boy struggling in the water, Veronica didn't think twice before jumping in to help the distressed tot.

However, it wasn't until she got into the water did she realise that the youngster wasn't alone.
Right underneath him was his pregnant mum, who was desperately trying to keep her son's head above water, despite the fact that she was struggling to breathe as well.
Talking to WTHR, Veronica, who also has a three-year-old son, said that she threw off her shoes and jumped right in.
"I took my shoes off while still running and just dove right into the pool and swam straight over to them and then realised there was a mother beneath the little boy."
Without a second thought, Veronica grabbed both the mother and child, and swam with them to the side of the pool.
A colleague of Veronica's rang 999, and firefighters arrived soon after. Thankfully, all three are said to be doing well.
"I don't know how I did it," she said. "I just reacted and would hope anyone else would do the same as I did."
Well done to Veronica!
