Teacher Saves Choking 3rd Grader’s Life

Give this teacher a raise! A scary episode in a 3rd grade classroom avoided catastrophe when Janiece Jenkins jumped into action and saved a boy who was choking on a bottle cap. Surveillance cameras at the school in East Orange, New Jersey, caught the moment 9-year-old Robert Stonaker couldn’t get a water bottle to open, and put it in his teeth and squeezed - blowing the cap off and lodging it in his throat. Ms. Jenkins had never done the Heimlich maneuver before, but had recently gotten training.

The way she held his face after, that’s real motherly love and care.

That kid will never forget his teacher. What a wonderful lady.

When she held his face after I couldn’t help but tear up. He will never forget the day his teacher saved his life. 😓

Ms Jenkins was a hero before this happened. She just hadn’t used her super powers yet.

“What would you like to say to your teacher after all of this?”
“I love you”
INSTANT tears, so happy everyone is okay

That boy saying “I looove you” after his teacher saved him is the absolute cutest. Bless to all these people that saved those kiddos lives.

Real life super heroes. Every teacher and parent should be first aid and CPR certified beforehand.

I want to cry. Being the mom of a 3rd and 4rth grader myself, this is one of my worst fears. I am so glad the teacher was able to save that child`s life.

She really really loves those kids. She held his face like he was her own baby. The young boy did a great job responding immediately. The fact that he had the peace of mind to get himself over to the sink and was SO smart to get himself to his teacher as soon as he realized he couldn’t cough it up himself. Choking is so scary. Anybody who has kids should look into the de-choker device that can save lives when other first aid methods fail.

The PTSD I have with bad teachers, this woman deserves everything good coming to her 🦋💛

The way she proceeds to hold his little face after such a terrifying moment…..that when you know she loves her students and has that motherly love❤️❤️❤️

[BlessedToBeSaved]

The loving way she holds his face, you know she wanted to just hug him tight. She saved his life!!!

It’s so important to know first aid basics. If the teacher didn’t know what to do or didn’t act quickly this could have ended differently. Thanks Ms. Jenkins. ❤️

As a former teacher, I experienced having a student choke and had to perform the Heimlich. I am not sure who was more scared, him or me, but I can tell you that it was an experience that both of us will never forget.

Teachers around the world deserve more respect. They teach and help students and some save lives.

Everyone should take a CPR course. You never know when someone will need help. Bravo to Ms. Jenkins!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Bless her, teachers deserve more for what they do. Part of the problem is that schools aren't giving students enough time to eat. This causes the students to rush. You also have to consider that a child's trachea is smaller...as in MUCH smaller. So the portion sizes given to these students should be to scale in order to be digestible

As a father, I legitimately sighed out of relief when she touched his face and he was ok.

She's an angel on earth!! The way she held his little face afterwards. Such love and care.
