Family Speaks Out on Son's Drowning - Anhil8tor - 01-05-2005

For the first time, a St. Martin Parish family is telling the story of how their son drowned in Bayou Teche. "I had him for ten years, now I know Jesus got him and he's taking care of him," says Michael Boutte's mother Carol. Ten-year-old Michael's parents lives' revolved around taking care of their autistic son. His mother says she wouldn't go anywhere without her Mikey.

But Friday afternoon, as Mikey was playing on the family's swing set with his sister Lacey and a cousin, his mother was distracted by a car turning around in her driveway. The next thing she knew, Mikey darted out the back gate, ran down the road and fell into Bayou Teche. Mikey had never been down to the Bayou, but his parents say he was fascinated by water.

"When his eyes saw the water, he just got in there, he didn't know it was deep," his mother guesses. "When a parent sees something like that they want to jump in but I knew I can't swim and I knew I could drown."

About two hours later, a cousin found Mikey's body in the bayou just a few hundred feet from where he fell in. Now, Mikey's father wants everyone to know his wife was always taking care of a child with intense needs. "I don't know anybody who'd do a better job," says Michael

Funeral arrangements are set for Wednesday at Faith Cathedral in New Iberia. The wake is at 9:00 a.m. and the funeral is at 11:00 a.m.

Wow a couple racial jokes pop into my mind but I'll leave it at that. And if he was always facisnated with water why didnt they ever teach him to swim and damn thats one dirty bayou

Family Speaks Out on Son's Drowning - Anhil8tor - 01-05-2005

Biggots make me laugh. They're not afraid to tell great jokes.

So she didn't jump in after him because she couldn't swim??? Whether I could swim or not, if one of my kids fell in the bayou and was drowning, my ass would be in there trying to get them, knowing how to swim or not. :|

ain't no harm in speaking the truth.

funny thing... well not really funny but its a bayou... not a river or anything with moving water... bayous are like lakes but smaller... if it was too deep for the kid she might have been able to stand in it...

Fuck it I wouldnt jump into that scummy ass water. Looks like the whole town got the shits and decided to use that instead of the hole in the backyard

We can't let 'em learn how to swim. Look what happened when we let 'em learn how to play football. Next they'll be playing golf.
