COTTLEVILLE, MISSOURI (KSDK) — A 12-year-old Cottleville, Missouri boy is being credited with saving his sisters life.

Thanks to a free 20 minute CPR class, Kyle Prater, 12, was able to save his sister’s life in a matter of seconds.

To Prater, it sounded like a boring way to spend a summer afternoon. When his friend’s mom brought up the idea of a CPR class at a local library, he wasn’t interested.

“I called my mom and said, ‘I really don’t want to do this’. She made me do it anyway,” said Prater.

“It was not something I really even thought about so I said, ‘Why not. It’s definitely going to be beneficial’,” said Kimberly Prater, Kyle’s mother.

No one could predict how helpful that 20 minute class would prove just a few weeks later when Kyle and his sister Camden, 9, were eating ice cream.
