What would a parent want the first stranger helping their child to know?

NBC 6 South Florida reported that a teen riding a scooter was struck by a car in Oakland Park and transported as a level-one trauma patient. Authorities later said the injuries were non-life-threatening.

The story includes a witness who heard the crash, rushed outside and tried to keep the teen from moving.

That is a useful way to think about preparedness. Before a parent arrives, another person may already be helping.

The source does not say information was missing in this incident. The question is simply what a family wants available when a normal ride suddenly puts a stranger in the helper role.
