Mass. boy, 11, honored for saving life of man with dementia

A Gloucester, Massachusetts, boy was honored this week for helping a man who was injured at a pond. Mason Genovese, 11, was playing at Brown's Pond earlier this month when he heard yelling for help. He started looking and found a man who fell and was bleeding. Mason told him to wait there, while he ran to get help. His family followed Mason to the man, where they helped him get up and back home. “Turned out, the man had Parkinson's and dementia and they found his wife was out looking for him,” said Gloucester Mayor Greg Verga. “It was a happy ending to what could have been a much less happy story.” On Thursday, Mason received a citation from the city of Gloucester, as well as the State House and Senate for his bravery.
