It saddens me for what the boy and his family are going through now, and almost equally angers me, that knowing as we do that early CPR and if necessary, early defibrillation increase the victim's chances of survival tremendouysly, but in a setting like a school, it doesn't sound like people were trained. It is pretty simple training, it doesn't take long, and it should be mandatory for teachers, administrators, and even custodial and kitchen staff and available to the student body as well.
My reaction would be to ask why it took so long to get him help and tell the Principal to get the Red Cross in for some training.
