Baby saved by the Carabinieri, the mother calls the military: "You are angels"

Il polso non batteva.

The three police, tre padri di famiglia, ieri hanno vissuto veri e propri momenti di ansia, nella scuola dell’infanzia di via Pontecitra. Ma ciononostante sono riusciti a mantenere il sangue freddo mentre intorno a loro c’era il Chaos. Il brigadiere Francis Trinchese and the selected officers Raphael Napolitano e Clement Rossino Yesterday they performed a gesture they will never forget: resuscitating a little girl in the throes of a heart attack.

“We are parents too – says Trinchese, father of two children aged 7 and 6 – I saw the little girl in those conditions, supine on the bench. The ambulance hadn't arrived yet and with Napolitano and Rossino we decided to intervene, there was no time to waste”. They immediately positioned themselves to perform cardiac massage.

 The Carabiniere Who Saved Her: “As soon as we saw that she was recovering, we all burst into tears”

Napolitano pressed on the little girl's chest, ten times, while his two colleagues held her: “As soon as we saw that he was recovering, we all burst into tears”, the three soldiers say in unison, their voices broken by emotion. And indeed the situation around them was nothing short of dramatic: “the teachers were crying, the people were running in panic”.

Screams, despair and desperation but they made it, the little girl started breathing again. Shortly after, her mother arrived, luckily the little girl had already recovered: “He held us tight and told us words that will forever remain etched in our memories: you are angels.”

After a few minutes the 118 ambulance also arrived: “The doctor complimented us”, the three carabinieri report, “and it also confirmed to us that arriving one minute early was decisive”. “I am proud of my men,” said the commander of the Carabinieri of Castello di Cisterna Alessandro Gagliano, “saving a life, even more so if it is that of a little girl of just four years old, is an unforgettable gesture.”
