Thirteen-year-old Semyon Williams Jr. of Texas may end up quadriplegic after jumping into a pool to avoid a wasp. His mother, Anya Camper, initially denied his request to go swimming, but eventually relented. Witnesses report that Semyon tried to dodge a wasp, dove into the pool, and submerged, unable to move. Football player and swimmer SJ was rescued and taken to the hospital, where doctors found his neck was fractured and his spinal cord shattered. SJ is now paralyzed and may never use his arms, hands, legs, or feet again. Camper expressed her helplessness and heartbreak at not being able to fix her son’s condition. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of diving into pools and the importance of water safety. The Camper family is now faced with the long road of rehabilitation and recovery for their beloved SJ.
