Toddler Survives With CPR

By the time the rescue crew arrived, the child was breathing.
“We see incidents like this during the summer months every year,” said Sheriff William Earl Hilton. “It only takes a split second for a fun day at the lake or swimming pool to turn into tragedy. Thankfully, this mother reacted quickly and saved her child.”
Too often a parent is prepared to respond with CPR, and far too often someone dies.
