Boys who helped mother save babyATLANTA--Susanna Rohm said she noticed that her son, Isaiah, was pale, his arms and legs were limp, and he was not breathing. In her panic, she dropped and broke her mobile phone when trying to make a call for help. She had no other means of communication, so she grabbed her son and ran outside, screaming for help. She saw two young boys, Ethan Wilson (9) and Rocky Hurt (10), playing soccer. She screamed at them, begging them to ask their parents to call 911.

They did. Meantime, the young boys showed the frantic mother how to give CPR. Within a few minutes, her baby boy started crying, a sure sign that he was breathing again. He was taken to the hospital, had to stay for a few days, and has since been released.

Wilson and Hurt are students at Sedalia Park Elementary in Marietta. They learned CPR for infants from a poster they were shown during their health class.
