Maryanne Rucker who is a resident of Richmond Heights Ohio is grateful that local police officer Sergeant Greg Patterson was at the right place at the right time when Maryanne's son Jacoby was choking on milk which caused the child to pass out and be on death's door. Officer Patterson who has trained in first aid used his skills to revive Jacoby by using chest compressions and turn the child upside down to give the child pats on his back which saved the child from dying and causing his mom heartbreak. Jacoby was taken to a local children's hospital where doctors examined the child and gave him a clean bill of health. Maryanne is very grateful the officer Patterson served as her child's Guardian Angel.

That is true. Most police officers have children.

It's so much nicer when we can hear and share the good things our great men in uniform do more often than bad.

I´m so glad! I wonder whether moms should be given a course on first aid. Accidents happen very often.

They should be given first aid courses since it is useful to save a life.

That's very good. Few people are very good and are concerned for others and always come forward to help others.

I am glad the child was saved but once again I say parents of children would be given free classes in first aid, This could have ended tragically,

That kid was lucky. I did First Aid, but sometimes I wonder if I would remember what to do in a case of emergency
