Mum urges people to be safe after 'hero' saves son from riptide on beach outside Derry

A mother from Northern Ireland has pleaded with parents to take care when near the water after her young son was almost taken by dangerous currants.

Sarah Moore, from Derry, took her son David to Culdaff beach in Co Donegal for the day on August 10 with temperatures reaching over 25C.

The Derry mum said she wanted to share her story so she could warn people of the dangers of outdoor swimming as she is terrified that another child will not be as lucky.
