His mom was angry
His mom was disgusted with the security and organizers after the need or help for her son. "This was one of the scariest moments of my life!" Caine Bishop wrote on social media. "Watching my son hold his chest gasping for air while the stadium security refused to call a Dr. as I begged them to send him help. They also refused to do anything to help. They totally ignored me! No parent should ever have to experience this feeling of helplessness!"
But that was not all, as she went to Instagram to express her feelings towards the situation and she went on to give thanks to the broadcast crew from NBC who helped her at the time.
"However, I want to thank the @nbcolympics team for helping me during this moment. Thank you for seeing me & my son as human beings and not just another story. Words cannot express my gratitude for your empathy, professionalism, and kindness," she said.
