Kept 'learned' or 'class'? That is how she knew what to do, two days before. The rescue is the story. Kept 'screamed' or 'help'? That is the parents, before anyone came.
This one really happened. On the evening of 24 October in Tuckerton, New Jersey, a couple's three-week-old son stopped breathing outside a closed urgent-care building. Ariana Leonardis, 16, had learned CPR in her childcare class two days earlier. She gave him chest compressions while her cousin Riley Porter, 15, called 911, and he was coughing and crying by the time the ambulance came. NBC10 Philadelphia, 2 November.
