Israel Spencer Scott: 4-Year-Old Black Boy Drowns While Taking Swimming Lessons

A 4-year-old boy lost his life during swimming lessons. The little boy has been identified as Israel Spencer Scott and it appears his parents still don’t know how this happened to their boy.

Dori Scott, the mother of Israel Spencer Scott took to Facebook to address some questions about her son’s tragic death. She asked why was he missing for so long, why didn’t the swim instructor not administer CPR, and why was swim instructor’s friend incite racist statements.

Lexie Currington TenHuisen is the swim instructor who was giving swim lessons to Israel Spencer Scott. Swim Lessons with Lexie has deleted its Facebook page.

A Facebook user Lizzie Moats took up for Lexie and victim-blamed Scott’s mother.
