Surveillance video shows the moment Shakira Nelson's son stopped breathing while she was at a Florida Department of Motor Vehicles office.

That was when Deputy Steve Donaldson took over.

He put the boy on the floor and started doing chest compressions.

The boy started breathing again before paramedics arrived.

"I look at the video now and I say thank god for deputy Donaldson because without him my baby wouldn't be here,” Nelson said.

Donaldson had just finished CPR retraining three weeks earlier.
