A police officer in northern Indiana is a hero after saving the life of a child who had become unresponsive.

Life is the most precious and delicate item on the face of the Earth. Due to the priceless nature of that God-given gift, it must be protected in any and every possible way. All efforts must be made to protect and defend life. 

In a clip posted on YouTube, Officer Brian Meador, a member of the South Bend, Indiana, Police Department, races out to attend to an unresponsive child. Brian then began performing chest compressions on the youngster in a desperate attempt to get the child breathing once again.

Brian continued the lifesaving maneuver on the child while he and the child’s parents waited at the police station for medics to arrive. Thankfully, the officer’s quick-thinking actions were successful. 

“Luckily, the baby started crying about the time that EMS got to the front door,” Brian said.

Normally, a crying child can be a mild irritant, but in this instance, when the child’s life hung in the balance, that was a welcomed sign. Brian called the child’s cries “music” to his ears.

Brian also praised the youngster’s parents for their part in saving the child’s life.

“Huge shoutout to mom and dad for knowing, you know, what to do in that situation as well,” Brian said. “That’s huge.”

The child’s mother and father were on their way to hospital as their youngster had been battling an illness. However, during their trip to the hospital, the child became unresponsive, and that’s when mom and dad made a detour to the South Bend Police Department. 

The video adds that the child continues to recover. 

Praise God for the lifesaving, heroic efforts of Officer Brian Meador and the child’s mother and father!
