A mother of a two month old girl is grateful that a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agent named Cecilia Morales who was hired to work at the Newark Liberty International Airport in late October of this year came to the rescue of the boy when she and her mom was going through security started to yell for help since her child stopped breathing.
Cecilia who worked as an emergency medical technician (EMT) for 10 years used her experience in saving lives by jumping over the checkpoint conveyor belt to take care of the little boy by using the Heimlich maneuver to make him breathe again.
Shortly after the boy was saved from choking, a pediatric EMT person gave the little boy some oxygen.
The mom who was a nervous wreck seeing that her child had stopped breathing is happy that a guardian angel in the form of Celicia Morales came to the rescue.

I agree with you that parents need to be keeping a close eye on their children outdoors.
