Baby Chokes, Sergeant Saves the Day | Orlando News
Description
A nine-month-old baby in Daytona Beach Shores choked on gummy candy—thanks to a quick-thinking Beach Safety Sergeant, the child was saved. Derek Taylor responded to a 911 call via a new Live 911 system, even though the call wasn’t from the beach, because it involved an infant in distress. He performed back slaps on the unresponsive baby, who was later hospitalized but expected to be fine. The incident underscores the vital need for CPR training, especially for parents and caregivers—Sergeant Taylor stressed that you’re far more likely to use CPR on a loved one than a stranger. The new system, just rolled out in Volusia County, is already proving life-saving in critical moments.
