If you have to lift a live wire from a child, use a dry stick, a rolled-up newspaper, thick clothing, or another sturdy, dry, nonmetallic object that won't conduct electricity. • Move the child as little as possible because severe electric shock may have caused a spinal fracture. • Once the current is off, quickly check the child's breathing, pulse, skin color, and alertness. If the child isn't breathing or there is no heartbeat, begin CPR immediately while someone else goes for medical help.
