RedactedNarrative: On May 13, 2018, I, RFC at approximately 4:37 PM responded to a possible boating incident that I heard over Hart County dispatch.  I called Hart County and got what details were given about the incident.  
  
  I arrived on scene off Old 29 Hwy near Brown Circle on Hartwell Lake, to find a pontoon boat that was beached near the road.  It contained four adults and four children.  I went down to the boat to find out that an eight year old had been injured while swimming.  Victim, determined to be the victim, had been swimming and fell/jumped off the bow of the boat and struck the end of the pontoon.  Victim suffered an eight inch laceration to the left thigh.  His wound was being cared for by his mother at the time.
  EMS arrived on scene and cared for Victim's wound.  Victim was loaded into the EMS vehicle and transported to AnMed Health Hospital in Anderson, SC.  His father and mother rode in the EMS vehicle with him.
  
  Upon talking with the operator/owner of the boat, he stated that the boat was anchored and that he was in the water at the back of the boat.  Operator stated that he saw Victim, through the pontoons, hit the water facing the back of the boat.  Operator stated that the kids were swimming and his wife and two others were on the back of the boat.  I collected the information about the boat and everyone’s phone numbers then left the scene.
  
  On May 14, 2018 I called operator and asked about Victim.  I asked him again what took place, due to him being in shock about the situation the day before, and he stated the same.  He did state though, that his son, was playing with Victim at the bow of the boat.  He stated that his son possibly pushed Victim into the water.  On this same day I met with victim’s father and asked about Victim.  He stated that Victim received twenty-three staples and seven sutures to the wound but was sent home the same night.  He stated that Victim is in good spirits.  He also mentioned that Victim said he felt the boat owner’s son’s hand on his back.  He stated that he knew it was an accident and was not going to make an issue of it.
