7-Year-Old Girl Saves Mother Using CPR She Learned Watching YouTube Videos
A 7-year-old girl saved her mother’s life with CPR, which she learned by watching YouTube videos that showed how to perform the emergency procedure.
Jessica Kinder was home feeling sick one morning in November. In order to make her daughter feel better, Becky Green, 32, put on a Christmas movie, 'The Grinch,' for Kinder to watch. However, Green suddenly collapsed and had a seizure attack.
“The last thing I remember is putting a cup of tea down for her, then I passed out," Green told South West News Service (SWNS), a British news agency.
Seeing her mom collapse, Kinder acted quickly. The young girl called the emergency officials from her mother’s phone and began CPR on her mother, whom she believed was dying at the time. By the time Green regained consciousness, the paramedics were already at their place and Kinder was all hysterical.
She was rushed to the hospital and later diagnosed with epilepsy, Fox News reported.
Green, who couldn’t believe what her daughter had done, asked her where she had learned to do CPR. Kinder told Green she learned CPR after watching videos of someone do it on Youtube. She, now, aspires to become a nurse or doctor one day.
"She likes watching videos and I know that she takes things in quite well but I had no idea she had watched a video about CPR. My little girl straddled me to do CPR because she thought I was dying. She knew she had to put all her weight on me from YouTube videos," Green told SWNS.
"If she hadn't known what to do and acted so quickly, who knows what might have happened?" she added.
For Green, her daughter is now a hero, for stepping up and saving her life in a stressful situation. As a “big thank you,” Green said she has planned something extra special for Kinder at Christmas.
"I'm so proud of her — I can't believe how heroically she acted," SWNS quoted Green.
