Teen Performs CPR, Saves Life When Boss’s Baby Stopped Breathing and Turned Blue
A Florida high school student, who has ambitions to become a trauma nurse, put his CPR training to the test in a real-life crisis. Savion Harris, 16, kept a clear head and ultimately saved a life when his boss’s 6-month-old infant stopped breathing and was turning blue.
While Harris and his coworkers were finishing a shift at the family-owned Thai restaurant where he works, the owner, a mom, flew down a flight of stairs with her baby son, Max, in her arms. Her partner by her side, she hysterically exclaimed that Max wasn’t breathing.

The county s top prosecutor said he especially wanted to remember three children aged 6 months, 2 years and 3 years who were allegedly killed by their 30-year-old mother, Liliana Carrillo, who was charged Monday with three counts of murder.
Gascon said his goal will always be to prevent a crime before it happens, but he vowed to hold the perpetrator accountable for their actions when a child is harmed.
Decades of research shows how negative childhood events – such as abuse or neglect – can have a detrimental impact on a person’s long-term physical and mental health. It has been linked to accelerated ageing, chronic disease and even premature death.
Stress experienced in childhood may also influence our genes and be passed on to offspring. So unless the cycle is broken, it may continue from generation to generation.
When we talk about childhood adversity, it can cover specific experiences, such as neglect, abuse, or trauma. It can also cover unfavourable socioeconomic conditions such as poverty, low education or unemployment. In a recent study, we wanted to investigate two types of adversity.
