CLARINDA, Iowa -- A little boy injured during a mowing accident Sunday in Clarinda, Iowa, will have part of his injured leg amputed Friday morning in Omaha.

Jakob Childs, 6, attempted to jump on the back of a riding lawnmower being used by a neighbor, according to his parents. The little boy slipped at the same time the mower went into reverse, going over Jakob's leg.

"The fear that goes through you," said Stephanie Childs, Jakob's mother. "The emotions of seeing your child like that and there's nothing to change it."
