A Nebraska news anchor’s family health scare has prompted him to issue a heartfelt plea for parents to learn how to perform CPR on their infants and children.
Bill Schammert, the evening news anchor for CBS affiliate KOLN-TV in Lincoln, Neb., choked up during his broadcast on Monday evening after returning to the news desk following his newborn son’s hospitalization.
