A THREE-YEAR-OLD girl who was pulled from a lake earlier this month has been discharged from hospital, police have confirmed.
Police officers rushed to the scene close to Waterside Village on Saturday, April 6 before rescuing the toddler from the water.
She was given CPR before paramedics arrived and taken to Alder Hey Children's Hospital, in Liverpool in a critical condition.
