For the parents of three-year-old Maliki Sessions, their guardian angel came in the form of 911 dispatcher David Mancini. Maliki accidentally fell into the family pool and began to drown, he was later rescued by a family member as his father called 911.

While paramedics were en route, the family remained stable as the dispatcher helped them save their child.

“Just tell your son to keep doing (the compressions), because you guys are doing a good job. I just need your help to do this please. Until the paramedics arrive,” said 911 dispatcher David Mancini.
