What would you do if your child has a medical emergency? Most of the parents don’t know what to do when his or her child isn’t breathing or gets a severe injury. Before trying to treat your child, call 911, stay on the line and let the operator guide you. Don’t forget to stay calm. To be prepared for these emergency situations, you can contact your local city hall and inquire about CPR classes and other emergency preparation courses. Many cities in the state offer these for free. This message has been brought to you by the Child Services Center.
