Usher’s child with ex-wife Tameka Foster has been released from hospital following an incident in his father’s swimming pool last week
Five-year-old Usher Raymond V was being supervised by his aunt when he got stuck in the pool drain hole. Contract workers at the Atlanta, Georgia residence are credited with freeing the boy and giving him CPR until medics arrived at the scene to transport him to a local hospital’s intensive care unit.
Since his release, Usher junior has been seen with his grandmother at an Atlanta play centre wearing a bandage on his arm, reportedly looking happy and active.
Usher won primary legal guardianship of Usher V and his brother Naviyd Ely (4) after a bitter custody battle in 2012. Following the pool incident, mother Tameka filed legal papers requesting an emergency custody hearing. She claimed Usher was a negligent and unresponsive father who often put the care of their children into someone else’s hands. However, no modification to the existing order has been granted.
The couple divorced in 2009 after nearly two years of marriage.
