9 Year Old Novato Boy and Father Save Toddler's Life with CPR
Usually when we write about someone helping a child in need, the hero in question is an adult. Not this time. While getting ready to leave the Ignacio Hills Apartments' pool area with his dad and two brothers, 9-year-old Bryan Cruz spotted a young boy at the bottom of the hot tub. Leaping in, Bryan, a fourth grader at Loma Verde Elementary School, pulled the limp toddler from the hot water and passed him to his father, Juan, who began immediate CPR. The tot soon began to breathe again, and was rushed to the hospital alive and well—thanks to a quick-thinking kid.
