Great job by a 13 year old!

It can be a life changing event for the person being saved and the person doing the saving. Great work on the part of the teenager.

My daughter talked a teenager through CPR to save her dad's life as a 911 dispatcher. He had a heart attack and she was able to keep him going until the police and paramedics arrived. She was able to meet them both and they all ended up on national TV during one of the morning shows. Lots of crying going on during that reunion.

Yep, niece and her friends made national news when they saved the life of a boy cliff jumping and ending face down in the water.

The girls all on High School swim team on a remote day trip…

I think it went national because the country needed some good news at the time of all the race riots in the cities boiling over…

The girls still very close today and keep in touch with the boy…

Good news always welcome.

Wonderful to hear, that could have been so terrible. Good on him for remembering the training, and staying calm; good on her for being a tough old gal.

Scouts also trained lots of good skills back when scouts were a thing...

If I had a business of my own I would hire every ex-farm kid I could find. I'm married to one.
