Tyra Winters, a high school senior and cheerleader, was on a parade float when she saw the desperate mom crying for help.
"I see the kid. I see a little bright red face, and his mom is holding him up begging for help, screaming, asking, 'Someone help me. Someone help me,'" Winters said. "My very, very first thought was like, 'Oh my God. I got to help this child.'"
"Her kid is turning purple, so I immediately jumped off the float. I ran down to the kiddo, and I was like, 'I got it,' and I just grabbed him from the mom. I tilted him upside down, and I just hit a good three back thrusts," Winters said.
And just like that, little Clarke was breathing again. "She saved my baby," Hornback said.
Winters learned the life-saving skills in eighth grade and her mom is in the medical field.
"She taught me back thrusts, which works better on little ones, around 20, 30, 40 pounds," Winters said.

Beautiful story. We should teach real things in schools, not stuff like gender studies and diversity.

Wow — great story. Nice to see it confirmed that there are still truly good kids around.
To: BenLurkin
Right place at the right time. Awesome.
But can I add that the now often used terms “kiddo” and “doggo” annoy the heck out of me?

Good for her! God bless her!
(Way better example than this cheerleader from another story.)
To: BenLurkin
From the article:
Hornback plans to get first aid training for everyone in her family.
Good idea. For everybody. Get trained, stay current.

I want to lead the cheering section for this cheerleader!
She's like they sang about Subaru,
"You got the brains and the beauty, too!"

She's a teenager. Give her a break. All teenagers annoy old folks.
I'm 72 and call my 2 year old granddaughter "kiddo" or "squirt" all the time.

A Black girl helping a white male child? I'm calling fake news. Nothing like that could happen in racist Amerika.

"A Black girl helping a white male child? I'm calling fake news. Nothing like that could happen in racist Amerika." Hey -- it was in Texas.
Down here, we're all TEXANS!
