Cop Saves 8-Year-Old Choking on Piece of Hard Candy

[@gardensofthegods]

This happened to my son when he was a toddler and no one was around ... everybody was at work and my phone wasn't working . This was back in the early 1980s . His face was turning purple and I even ran outside yelling for help after running down three flights of steps , but nobody was around and I ran back upstairs and now his face was so dark it was more like a bluish color and I just remembered screaming out loud to the Lord to help me and I could feel something down my son's throat when I stuck my fingers there and it was some kind of a screw and I had to turn him upside down while still sticking my fingers in his throat so that I wouldn't push it further down and a very small drop of blood came up from it scratching his throat but I got it out just in time . I was so grateful even though I was so upset that I was shaking all over . I have no idea where that screw came from but he was at that age where you have to watch them constantly . Usually if I see something about someone choking that's what I think of

😭 Lord gave you strength 🙏🏽 You must have been terrified but you saved him mama ❤

[@tofuluvrr837]

Oh how terrifying. So glad you were able to save your boy!

[@morena012]

So happy you were able to save him!

[@LopezCreations]

This is why I'm scared to have kids.

[@heavenbound1536]

​@LopezCreations have kids anyways

[@gigagn0m]

More people should be aware of how to save someone from choking

[@Mel_Issa_143]

Yea - my son saved me when he was 8 when I was choking

[@tylerdurden9920]

Honestly, now that i think about it. EVERYONE should know how to save someone. They should straight up teach that throughout high school and even college. Everyone will eventually need to learn how. It doesn't take much time to learn and it's a great skill to have as a human

[@John-Smith02]

​@@tylerdurden9920throughout highschool? Why not throughout elementary and middle school?

[@gigagn0m]

@@tylerdurden9920 I don't know how it is in the US, but in my country you HAVE to make a first aid course in high school and when you make your driver license.

[@glass4600]

@@John-Smith02it’s not that I don’t believe kids can’t follow through, but the vast majority wouldn’t really know what to do in that situation. Even high schoolers might freeze up. It still should be taught though for all ages. Choking hazards exist for everyone

[@dilumwellala931]

I think that everyone should have this device.

[@meganfarrell7427]

It’s very expensive. I went to go buy one and was shocked.

[@John-Smith02]

​@@meganfarrell7427it's like $80. Compared to an AED its cheap.

I really don’t understand why this device is so expensive. I went to order one and it’s 111$ where I am. This device shouldn’t be more than 10$ so everyone can afford one and have it on hand!! So Glad this little boy is going to be okay💙

[@oogyy89]

Government don't care

[@leyla7108]

I never heard of this device before today. I would like to have it also. Do you mind telling the name of the device

[@TheVermilliaFamily]

I believe it's that much because they need to make sure the suction is 100%. As a medical device they probably have much harder testing.

[@joemomma8369]

​@leyla7108 life vac

[@BobbyShmurda-xh2bq]

There's nothing worth more than saving a life, especially your own spawn. 111$? so what? Going to rob them of their future because of a device that is guaranteed to work but it costs 111$? Cmon now let's think about priority.

[@beastlll]

every parent should have this device

[@Super_Smg17_Oydessy_And_Pals]

@ASTROSPIRTUALAHIST SHUT UP ITS USEFUL ITS MUCH EASIER

[@warrior9694]

Whoever created the Life Vac is truly incredible ❤ everyone needs to get this

[@HiThisIsMine]

And greedy. They charge $80 for a sink plunger attached to an oxygen mask. More households would have this if it wasn’t absurdly overpriced.

[@relentless305]

This is a terrible feeling as parent

[@Spacefunkdiva]

Bless those first responders and what an amazing tool for them to have with them. WOW.

[@qbconnect2883]

Man this brings back memories I'll never forget. I was around 12 at my grandmother's house and a piece of hard candy slipped down my throat. It happened so fast. I was just standing there alone panicking in shock trying to cough, my breath giving out by the second when my auntie happened to be coming down the hall. And as soon as she saw me she jumped into hero mode. She did the heimlich and hit me two good times in the back and whoosh, it came flying out. I screamed so loud. I still get teary eyed thinking about it 🙏🏾 Glad this little guy made it. Big ups to the cop 👍🏾

[@chikodiibe4211]

Simlar story, my sis choked on a jolly rancher. mom did heimlich came out

[@deborahblackvideoediting8697]

That must have been terrifying for you...especially being alone at the time. Thank heavens your aunt came along and knew what to do!

[@mpdaugherty8549]

Everyone should own this device .PERIOD. LIFE SAVING LIFE CHANGING DEVICE❤ GOD BLESS

[@donmaratea10]

I teared up watching this video. Thank You to the police officer for his quick actions! So glad the boy is okay!

[@ESCSvideos]

I am getting one! This device should be much more known about and absolutely essential in places like children's schools and nurseries, it should be an absolute requirement that they have these devices for both adults and children!

[@Matikz007]

Much less expensive to learn CPR than buy one of these things.

[@soniaibarra1926]

Blessings to the Boy and the Police Officer.🙏🙏❤❤

[@HooDeeWho]

Poor babes😢 I hope he recovers from this quickly. Know what to do in these situations and prepare for such. You could save a life.

[@okaycola2]

My dad gave me one of these when my daughter was born. What a sweet guy

[@Ginger-153]

Yes and restaurants should definitely have thid device!

[@alanw2687]

Especially Hooters

[@mia1shooter]

The amount of people that do not know life saving measures for a choking child is astounding.

[@joel784]

This happened to a baby a few years ago and someone used life vac Life vac is so useful

[@davidzel2]

Glad they saved him. I've always been deathly afraid of choking.

[@SailorsGirl1957]

I bought two. One for my house and one for my daughter and sil's house. I hope no one ever has to use it.

[@thebeautifulrose294]

What brave cops to save a child from being choking

[@shelzblack488]

I saved my brother when I was 12 he was almost 3. Had to use the haemlich manoeuvre it worked and he was ok, my aunt was elderly with dementia starting, and couldn't help. Thank goodness my school taught me those techniques ❤

[@valfletcher9285]

My comment above - that saved my life!

[@rachelgless3123]

God bless those officers.

[@What-yc5vz]

I remember I choked on a blue starburst when I was 11. I ran to my mom and she started slapping tf outta my back and the candy luckily went down my pipe 😭😭 literally almost died. Lifevac must be available everywhere/easily assessable and affordable.

[@jens42o]

When I saw the first life vac video I purchased one! You just never know when you might need it

Great device and great Cop!

[@PaiviProject]

Omg, how scary situation. Police Officer was truly the hero ❤

[@madmusicianmagician]

I don't care what people say about the police that officer along with many others have saved countless of lives.

[@amandad6104]

Wow. Glad he's okay now

[@ericnava4737]

This is a choking warning.

[@FreshSmog]

The device is good, but you won't always have it with you while hiking or on a beach somewhere. You will always have first aid knowledge with you though. Even without a lifevac, people should've been able to help him, rather than leave him passed out.

[@nybsbfan18]

I'm glad he's safe.

[@jeromehill7411]

Im glad the boy is okay. They should sell those life vacs in stores

[@jazbarry13]

This was put on my baby registry and my mom purchased it for us. I came home from grocery shopping one day and my husband told me he had to use it on our toddler son. He had started to choke in his highchair while eating lunch. He only had to pull the plunger once to dislodge the food. I highly recommend this.

Great device, Really want one. I just hate that the company is *taking advantage of people's need and OVER-CHARGING for it* IMO.

[@kingof206]

My cousin was choking on a chicken bone or some piece of the chicken & she was alone in her place, and she didn’t know what to do, so she drank cooking oil to make the chicken slippery. It worked for her.

[@SmoothJamYT]

That police officer needs a Medal!

[@cacique1792]

When my grandson was born I bought two of the life vacs, one to keep at the house in a set place and the other for the diaper bag.

LifeVac is a device which should be winning awards. I'm sure they would if they made the patent public.

i was this age when a hard candy lodged in my throat. I could not breathe. Mt aunt was a school teacher and had just come from a workshop where she learned the HEILMECh Maneuver/technique! She got behind me and put her both hands at my diaphram and the hard candyf lew out of my mouth! My Aunt Ada: My hero always. She passed away in 2012 :{

[@emilyaznaran6076]

When I was 9. I choked on a jolly rancher candy when my dad was driving me and my brother home. Luckily I didn’t need medical attention as the jolly rancher eventually slip through my esophagus and down my stomach. Since I stopped eating jolly ranchers. I use jolly rancher lollipops instead.

[@6703445]

Am I the only one who feels like the cops were moving slow?

[@xjcrossx]

I was choking on a piece of butterscotch candy when I was about this age. I was alone and was terrified. The only thing I could think of to do was bend over and growl. It worked the candy vibrated its way out. A few weeks or months later my brother was choking on a jolly rancher. I said to him, go like this: and showed him what I did. It worked for him too! He never gives me praise but admits I saved his life lol. So if you're ever alone and choking on hard candy..try that. It' 2 for 2 in my life experience.

[@hawk469]

OMG!....I was eight years old when I started choking on a butterscotch disc at a JW convention in 1967. I'll never forget all the pounding on me back while they were holding me completely upside down by the ankles. My favorite candy is still butterscotch discs.😂
