Youth’s quick action leads to friend’s choking intervention

AUNDECK OMNI KANING—A school trip to see a production of Frozen could have turned tragic if not for the presence of mind of Braxton Young, a Grade 6 Little Current Public School (LCPS) student from Aundeck Omni Kaning.

“So, I went to a trip to see one of the Elsa things, where they act like the characters in Frozen,” said Braxton. He described how a fellow student sitting across the aisle from him was eating food while they were on the bus when it became clear something wasn’t right. “All of a sudden, his face started turning red,” said Braxton.

“I get up and I tell the teachers because I was scared to like, pat his back,” said Braxton. “I got up, told a teacher, like he’s either having an allergic reaction or he’s choking. You could tell that his face was like all red and stuff.”
