13-Year-Old Hero

A Fremont Middle School student is being honored for saving a little girl's life. 

David Bailey, 13, immediately went into hero-mode when he saw a little girl on his bus choking on a piece of candy.  

Bailey ran over to second-grader Madeline Kelenzon, performed the Heimlich maneuver and dislodged the candy! 

The district honored Bailey with a plaque for his quick instincts and actions.  

It's so great to see a young teenager step up in a scary situation and be brave enough to help.  Hopefully this story inspires people of all ages to learn life-saving skills like the Heimlich!  You just never know when you'll need it.
