Meet the 13-Year-Old Who Tried ‘Everything She Could’ to Save 6-Year-Old Colo. Shooting Victim

There are many things that shouldn’t happen in this world. And one of them is that a 13-year-old girl shouldn’t be put in a situation where she has to try to tirelessly save the life of a 6-year-old after a senseless theater shooting. But that’s exactly what happened to a young girl named Kaylan.

Kaylan, whose last name is being withheld, went to “The Dark Knight Rises” on Friday with five people. One of them included 6-year-old Veronica Moser-Sullivan, who ended up becoming the youngest victim of the now-infamous “Dark Knight” shooting in Aurora, Colorado.

After the shots rang out, Kaylan noticed that young Veronica was hit. She sprang into action and tried to deliver CPR. But there was a problem: another adult victim had fallen on Veronica, making it impossible.

Kaylan asked the adult to try and move, but said the person was “numb” and couldn’t. She begged: “Please try, please, because we have to get out of here.” Nothing. She tried and tried until police arrived.

You can watch Kaylan tell her story to CBS below:

    ****** parenting taking kids under13to a midnight movie!! This Mother if she survives will have to live with being partly responsible for the death of her six year old. Nothing good happens after midnight and that lil girl should have been home in bed!!

    If parents had left their children at home with a babysitter, and something bad happened, that would have been a normal tragedgy. The point is not that parents endangered their children’s lives by taking them to a midnight showing. That shouldn’t happen, period. The point is, what kind of parent takes their 6-year-old to a midnight movie? The answer is: a bad parent. Period. Children need structure in their lives, including a pre-midnight bedtime, so that they can be vigorous and awake the next day as they experience and learn new things.

    But so many horribly bad mothers will maintain that this is wrong and evil and moralistic because they want to go see a movie at midnight and don’t care about the consequences to their children.

    I am among those questioning why young kids were at this (or any) midnight movie, much less one that is as violent as DKR is. A little baby whose mother claims she “threw (the baby) to the ground” in panic, etc. They shouldn’t have been there. Period. Does that make the parents’ responsible for their deaths/injuries? I have to say “yes” they are.

      And then if they had left their children with a babysitter, and something would have happened during the time the babysitter was in charge, that would have been the parents fault too, right? There is no place, after a tragedy like this, for placing any blame on the parents for what James Holmes did. The responsibility is his and his alone.

      I understand how you feel, but some things might be out of your control. For example, if you are divorced and your ex-wife has joint custody, she can take your 6 year old to a midnight movie and there is nothing you can legally do about it. I tried to fight a similar battle years ago and basically got laughed out of court for trying to compel my ex-wife to not expose my 2 year old daughter to other guys and an unusual lifestyle like staying up late, seeing inappropriate movies, etc. and was told by the judge that they cannot legislate morality, believe it or not. I spent many sleepless nights worried about my daughter while she was with her. The good news is, she is now 16, an honor student, and with me most of the time, by choice.

      Nope, Foxhole.

      Anyway, due to the fact that for many liberals father (sometimes even mother) may be unknown, the chances that you are porking your sis are reasonably high.

      Another factor is that conservative families, being sexually conservative (= non-promiscuous) have a clear idea about their blood relations. In liberal niveau (large cities) with female sexuality in unrestricted hypergamy mode and their tendency to procreate with only alpha males (overtly or covertly), a narrowing of gene pool transpires as the studies have proven that about only 40% of large population centers males carry on their genes forth. That applies to even married females. The provider does not equate a sperm donor. Thus your quip about “inbred” is misplaced. It is another case of liberal projection, attributing their own deeds (or misdeeds thereof) to their ideological foes.

      a better question is WHY was she there? a 6 yr old is not the right age for a Batman movie..at least not the current three…they are based on Frank Miller graphic novels….and VERY dark….my children have watched them but at home not at the theatre…where they could leave the room if they got scared or the movie could be turned off…
      we went to the Lord of the Rings movies at midnight once…my kids were only 6 and 4 and they LOVED the movies, even stayed awake the entire 3 hours….
      it can be a nice family outting…you just have to know your children..and as their parent i can make that judgement….

      Have you watched the movie? Any child that loves batman would be able to watch this movie. The rating could ONLY have been from fighting scenes. There is nothing gruesome at all in this movie, and as always, there is no profanity like normal hollywood trash standards, there is no nudity or wild sex scenes. I mean, they show a scene where a dude is dead that just got shot up, and he has NO blood or bullet wounds at all. In today’s standards of what PG-13 is, this movie should have been PG.

      To recap, any 6 year old that loves batman can watch this movie. I would have taken my 7 year old nephew (that loves comics) to this movie with no problem.

      Really? And here I thought it was a madman bursting into the theater and opening fire that would have been the cause of the trauma. But now we really know who to blame – the parents. Clearly the gunman had good reason to believe only adults would be in the theater at that time for this movie, so we can absolve him of the deaths of the children.

      Several things have happened in the last 60 years that IMHO may have been the root cause.
      1) The welfare state has removed personal responsibility from life.
      2) God has been kicked out of American life. (Weather you are a believer or not)

I know you folks are trying to justify your wall to wall news coverage, but featuring the girl who almost gave CPR, and the girl that almost opened the apartment door, and the people who ran from the adjoining theater doesn’t scream hero to me. The heros are probably among the dead or whose stories will not be cast before the swine of the media.

      Agreed.

      Everyone is trying to make everyone out as hero – even the people there.
      The best example of a “hero” was a woman about 20 with extremely short cut black hair who bragged she had some EMT training. This woman twisted her sentences into knots by saying she would gladly give her life for someone and had stopped to help a bleeding fallen man as they were fleeing but her boyfriend (standing next to her in front of reporter) then ran past the guy eager to get out and LAUGHINGLY this woman said I had to put my life first as the shooter may have been coming so I followed my boyfriend out. Then in her tortured mind, she stupidly repeated that with her EMT training she would gladly have given up her life for another but that she had to get away from the shooter.

      Not everyone has money to spare for a $15 an hour babysitter.

      Parents take their children to midnight movies knowing their children will most likely sleep through the whole thing either in the lap of a loving parent or curled up next to a parent. A child ticket price is cheaper than a babysitter.

      It is not like the parents left their children locked in a car or home alone.

      Stop blaming the parents for this shooters behavior.

      I took my kids to a late night Harry Potter opening. We have legitimate expectations of normalcy. Suggesting that parents are somehow responsible for the events that occurred is at the least narrow minded.

      Not blaming the parents for the shooter, if one cannot afford the babysitter, then one should WAIT until the movie comes out on DVD and rent for $1 at red**x. Wake up! this was irresponsible by the parents…..is it ok to take a kid to a bar and let them sleep in the corner?? babysitters are expensive you know…..
      This movie is not that important, but then agian, none of them are. please slap yourself and wake up.

      Whose needs are being met, then? The “adult” who wants to watch a relatively violent movie and can afford the tickets but not a sitter or the child’s well being? This has nothing to do with the actions of the shooter. That mental defective was pulling the trigger no matter who was sitting there. Parents need to be parents and make wise decisions for the whole family.

      BetterInformed, can you not read? I did not say they were responsible for the shooting, only the evil guy is responsible for that, BUT if the kids were in bed where they should be, this specific story would not happen. Also, if you think taking your kids to Harry Potter at midnight is cool, go for it, but for me, there is not movie cool enough to take them our after 11pm. BUT you are responible none the less and these adults are too. Just sounds like you are gutless too…..are you?

      One year ago today 77, mostly teenagers, were gunned down by a nut on a Norway vacation island. This happened during the day. Maybe you show write to their family members and provide them with some of your bizarre advice.

      Why don’t send a note to the parents of the 6 year old who was killed. You might suggest that they could have saved their dead child’s life had they been more responsible.

      Keep your absolutely clueless onions to yourself and go back to the children’s table. Leave intelligent discourse to the adults.

      BetterInformed…so you are gutless then? there is a HUGE difference between sending your kids to a camp and taking a 6 year old to a BATMAN MIDNIGHT MOVIE! your words speak so loudly that you are the idiot, but then again maybe Harry Potter can save you.
      I am not saying the parents should be jailed, but get real…a 6 year old at a dark, violent midnight movie? There is always a line, and this one was crossed, but if one does not have the morals and principals to see it, then I am sorry…..for you.
      Our country is in decline because we do not demand that people are responsible….no, they are alwasy the victim (sarcasm).

      Amen!! No one wants to parent any longer. the desire to be “cool” or the kids “friend” seems to be the main agenda. My kids are grown but there is no way in hell I would take them to a midnight movie, nor would I have gone and still wouldn’t go. there is no movie that’s good enough to go see at midnight, particularly for young children. And the comment like a child can sleep sitting next to their mom or dad’s arms…what bull. you get a big shoot up, violent movie and the kid is gonna sleep? Selfish on the parent’s part. I didn‘t even take my kids to the movies until they were over 3 and then it was a children’s movie and they had to show they could sit without disturbing others and if they couldn’t we would leave. Very simple. Irregardless, this is a tragedy and they should give this guy truth serum and make him talk. And then no trial, only a sentencing hearing and be hung in the public square by the end of next week. I love the news “alleged” shooter. No alleged about it, he did it. Kill him now and that will send a message.

      Busted your bubble again.

      This story is about a young teen who attempted to save a life. You and your ilk choose to pull out your soap boxes and preach your self righteous, condescending, heartless cr@p.

      You’re typical of those who have little, if any, successful family connections, go on to resent those that do. Unsympathetic, obscure and anonymous you spew platitudes attempting to draw people into your lonely fearful little world.

      While you sit there on your porch with your can of mace by your side we’ll be at the parade.

      Try a little sympathy, it’s therapeutic. Even for narcissistic losers.

      Hey LameConservative, I know! If you don’t have money for a babysitter, how about you NOT take your THREE MONTH OLD to the premier of a movie where it will CRY and FIDGET and spoil something the rest of us have been waiting for quite awhile to see? How about you wait until you can either afford a babysitter, or it comes out for private home viewing? How about you NOT take your 6 year old because she will flap her little gums through the entire thing asking you, and pretty much the rest of us “why is that man doing that? What is that man doing? What are they saying? Who is that girl? I was talking so I didn’t hear, what did they just say? Blah blah blah blah blah”.

      I initially thought that as well but there are special times when kids are allowed up late. As a kid, my parents would wake us up before midnight on New Year’s Eve so we could bring in the New Year together, watch the fireworks and toast the New Year (not with alcohol, duh). Regardless of parenting, people should be able to go with their loved ones anywhere in this country and not get mowed down by a nutjob.

      Thank you Founding Fathers for the Second Amendment.

      You’re getting your kid up to watch fireworks. Not bringing it to bother others in a movie theater to watch something it won’t quite grasp.

      And why not with alcohol? What’s wrong with it? Your kids will most likely stick their noses in it and turn away. They might take a sip and then make some sort of face and vow not to touch it again. By not allowing it, you’re creating a recipe for disaster and just asking for a teenage drinking problem. If you take the mystery away, they will be less likely to be obsessed with it in a few years. They might even survive their prom night relatively unscathed.

    We now have to listen to stories about the whack job’s difficulties while growing up. At least the Columbine nuts killed themselves.
