According to police reports the Decatur police department responded to a call on N. Business 287 of an unresponsive child and when they arrived they found a mother performing CPR on her child.
First responders attempted CPR on the girl before rushing her to Wise Regional Medical Center. Once to Wise she was then airlifted to Cook Children’s in Ft. Worth.
The mother spoke with authorities and told them the child had been running a fever and throwing up so she placed her inside the bathtub.
