Elementary school student whose windpipe got a cracker stuck in it was saved by the teacher's Heimlich maneuver.

An absolute hero … my heart’s still racing!

The way she checks up on him and hugs him after she saved him got me 😭God bless them all.

What an amazing woman. So sweet and kind at the end. She was genuinely concerned for this child. This is what all parents hope for when they send their children to school everyday.

That one child, that tried to help 👏

I had a lunch lady save me with this same move in elementary school. I was choking on a nacho chip.

wow that was intense thank goodness

I think the teacher needed that hug more then the little boy

Wow, incredible teacher.. thank God she was there - she saved his life.. ❤️

When my youngest was about 6, it was coming up to Easter and they’d had Mini Eggs (which I ban in my house btw, they’re lethal). He started to choke on one. Thankfully the TA had literally just been on her CPR/first aid update and she managed to dislodge the sodding thing or ge would’ve choked. She was in bits afterwards - scared silly and Adrenalined to heck! I couldn’t thank her enough. And then told him yet again never to touch those again! (When Mini Eggs get wet, they become incredibly slippy & easy to choke on).

You can really tell she cares about them kids with that hug at the end!!

That hand gesture, meaning "you scared the hell out of me," proves the video is from Türkiye, the birthplace of the Heimlich Maneuver.

People don’t often understand the responsibilities that teachers have towards their students, mostly in the lower grades of school. A very important job which needs much consideration.

@Brink_Thinker My heart just stopped and then I cried with relief.

First - 🏆 possibly the simplest skill to learn to make the biggest difference for someone’s world. Parents - never assume your child’s level of knowledge or ability. Every so often switch up food - with you being present - so as to assess and teach proper chewing techniques.

How lucky that little buddy was that the teacher knew the Heimlich maneuver. That teacher is a hero; she saved his life.

Hoo-rah! Training works 👍❤️💪

@prvegas is so happy to see the teacher appear in time to sace his life 👍 ❤️

Did heimlich for a kid I was babysitting who was choking on grapes. Grapes came out, he was shaken-up but safe. Told parents when they came home, and they looked at me suspiciously and said “yeah he sometimes shoves too much food in at once” -and never asked me back. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Good bless her. This child gets to go home today to the family that loves him.

Great job teach! My wife has to do this on 2 different occasions to her students (1st grade). 🫨

Hero of the day if not year! Most teachers would do anything for their students. So thankful he was ok.

his lil friend trying to help as much as he could too 🥹

Thank God she was there!

Teachers should get paid the same as CEOs

glad teacher acted fast to save kid

Hero!

You Blessed AngelHero, Young Teacher !!!

Son hareket Türk olduğunu mu gösteriyor?Damak kaldırmak☺️

Fast smart thinking action woman!! Well done lady, what a hero 👍💪

Another HERO in action! Please share. I love to see stories of people stepping up to help instead of just the stories of where people stood by and didn’t help.

God Bless her. Everyone should learn that and CPR

@Brink_Thinker Good job !!!
