Christian Matos who is a eight year old boy is being praised by his mother Cerise Hammie as a savior after he was inside of a swimming pool at an apartment complex in Greensboro North Carolina on August 18 spending time together. The name of Christian's grandfather who is 61 years of age was not mentioned for whatever reason swallowed too much water while he was in the swimming pool which caused him to pass out. Christian who according to his mother was never taught by her first aid techniques before. I guess Christian was taught first aid techniques while he was in school or he has seen television shows on how to use first aid techniques since he was able to get his grandfather out of the pool despite Christian's grandfather is heavier than he is to drag him out of the pool and give him CPR before the first responders arrived to take the grandfather to a local hospital where is expected to make a full recovery. Children these days amaze me with their knowledge of using CPR to assist persons who need their help.

A lot of pool accidents and things happening at the pool. Thank goodness that boy was taught first aid.

Christian most likely learned first aid from his grandfather or in school since his mom admits she never taught him any first aid lessons before.

Christian amazes me that he was able to get his grandfather out of the swimming pool despite his grandfather outweighing him by a lot of pounds.

The young boy doesn’t look big or strong enough to get his grandfather out of a swimming pool. He’s a brave little fellow.

@RubyHawk That is true since I am sure his grandfather or an adult taught Christian the life saving techniques that he used to save his grandfather.

I will give Christian his just due of knowing what to do when his grandfather passed out in the swimming pool since my belief is that his grandfather or a family friend taught him first aid skills that came in handy.

@Deepizzaguy I am sure he learned the first aid of saving a drowning person from someone and so he had the ready wit to act fast.

I am sure that Christian was able to get his grandfather out of the pool the way he did was due to adrenaline rush in him.

I have noticed that kids when they are very young have the wisdom of Solomon and the actions of a young Superman.
